CTRL-U only exits the editor (you don't want to save any changes)

From SED.TXT:

  Ctrl-K   Update all changes made to the screen

So the procedure is CTRL-K CTRL-U to Save and Exit.  Perhaps there should be
a single command ... but it's never occurred to me in over 30 years and I use
screens exclusively.
