Ctrl-C Not working in zsh












3















In zsh when I try and press CTRL-C nothing happens (it works fine in bash) when I run bindkey | grep \^C I get "^C" Applications so something must've happened... how do I bind ^-C to the default?

  • What are you trying to do with Ctrl-c? What does stty -a show (with respect to intr and ^C (in a freshly started zsh session)?

  • go to a new line in the shell, and intr = ^C;

stty sane is usually a good starting place; outside of the zsh command line editor, it's a function of the terminal driver.

I just solved this situation by typing in the simple command ls after pressing ctrl-c, ctrl-c.



I think I was in some kind of multi-line input mode.
