Re: annoying C-s terminal freeze

Quoting Thomas Guettler ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 I don't like control-s to freeze my terminal.
 Is there a way to disable it?

Yes.

 Why not make a freeze disabled terminal the
 default in debian?

Because terminals have been using ^S that way for so
long (I've been using it myself since the 70s) that people
expect it.

 I can't see why some wants its terminal to 
 freeze.

So that they can read what's written there, amazing as
that might seem!

Cheers,

Hi,
if you have a terminal without (enough) scrolling capabilities and a lot of messages you do want to read when they appear, then freezing is just handy.

I think you can bind the freezing of the terminal to other keycodes than Ctrl-s, but I did not try to, so I suggest you read the appropriate manuals for the appropriate terminal emulators...unless others have already working tips!
