Hey all -
I have noticed that pressing ctrl+s in console or xterm suspends input... I have not figured out how to successfully get out of that situation. Is there a graceful way? What is the purpose of ctrl+s ( i believe I have the emacs style command line editor )? How can I disable ctrl+s or alter it so that it does not freeze my console/xterm?
Note that control-S doesn't suspend input. It suspends OUTPUT! control-Q lets the output go again.
As Roger already asked: Is there a way to disable this Ctrl-S shortcut?

Switching off ctrl-s is done by 'stty -ixon'. this is good for searching forward in bash (searching backward is performed by ctrl-r).
