Bug Description

Similar to bugs #389129 and #368937 but with / (forward-slash) and \ (back-slash) keys.

So, after choosing / as the escape key, Ctrl-/ works fine as the screen escape sequence, but the function keys F5 and F8 no longer work.

~/.byobu/keybindings looks like this:
  source /usr/share/byobu/keybindings/common
  escape ^//
  register r "^a:source $HOME/.byobu/profile^M" # | Goes with F5 definition
  register t "^aA^aa^k^h" # | Goes with the F8 definition
  register d "^a:source /usr/share/byobu/keybindings/screen-escape-keys^M"
  register r "^a:source $HOME/.byobu/profile^M"
  register e "^a:source /usr/share/byobu/keybindings/f-keys^M"

Maybe Ctrl-/ or Ctrl-\ are not the best choice, or not possible? If so they should not be allowed as an option similar to when I tried Ctrl-0 (Ctrl-zero).
