I'm glad you asked though, as I've figured out what was causing the freezing issue in Vim specifically. In Vim: - if you type 'Ctrl-s' unintentionally, that sends the 'XOFF' flow control sequence that halts input to vim. This makes Vim appear to be "frozen". - if you then type 'Ctrl-q', this will send the 'XON' sequence, which will immediately "thaw" your vim instance and enable typing as normal. Reference: http://www.unixcl.com/2009/04/ctrl-s-in-linux-shell-vi-hangs.html (In fact, I went to look up my notes about the topic in order to write this response -- and the vim instance was in 'XOFF' state!) Strange considering that I have no memory of this problem happening before, but it's great to have a simple solution. Hope this might be of some use to you, too (or anyone else who had a similar problem). > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > Sent: Thu, 15 Jan 2015 23:39:55 +0100 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Post-Install Notes: Urvxt is good, but surprisingly not > quite great (yet) > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 08.01.2015 22:54, kario tay wrote: >> 2.
