my ctrl+c doesn't work

yankee428 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-01-2005

it seams that my ctrl+c and my ctrl+d don't work. if I type a bunch of jiberish on a line and ctrl+c I expect the command to be cancelled and to be given a fresh prompt, but instead it just putts ^C at the end of the line.

Also, ctrl+d should close the session, but instead mine just puts ^D at the end of the line.

Both work if I login with a different user, so it must be something within my user profile, but I have looked in .cshrc all over.

You can set these key sequences using stty. Here is a link to the stty man page. Just add it to the end of your .profile, then be sure to source your .profile once you have saved the file.

Code:

$ stty -isig
$ ^C
/bin/ksh: ^C:  not found.
$ stty isig
$ 
$ stty -isig
$ ^C
/bin/ksh: ^C:  not found.
$ stty isig 
$ 
$

Thanks guys,

between the two I was able to come up with:

stty intr '^C'

in my.cshrc file and it works great!
