Subject: [TUHS] Unix taste (Re: terminal - just for fun)
Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2014 22:54:34 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140804025434.A80F81DE382@lignose.oclsc.org> (raw)
Doug McIlroy:
A symptom of why I have always detested emacs and vi. With ^D, ^C,
and ^\, Unix has more than enough mystery chords to learn.
====
What is this ^C mystery chord?
Or can it be that I am actually more wedded to the past than
Doug, in that I still use DEL as my interrupt character?
And, for that matter, @ for kill (though in the modern world
one has to type @ often enough to require learning a different
modern-world mystery chord, ^V).
I break with the past for character-erase, though: backspace,
not #.
