Fortunately you only need to remember ~? since it tells you the rest.
- Groxx 9y agoUnfortunately, ~? is two characters too many for me to remember a year later :|
- anyfoo 9y agoDo you never have to terminate a stuck session? <enter>~. to do so is practically muscle memory. The other sequences I cannot remember either, since their frequency of use is several orders less for me, but ~? is pretty intuitive to find out.
- laumars 9y agoNot the OP but I generally don't need to use <enter>~. because I have my terminal multiplexed in tmux so will kill the tmux pane rather than OpenSSH session. The main reason I prefer to kill via tmux rather than OpenSSH is because sometimes I'll be connected several sessions deep (eg via a Bastian / SSH jumpbox or tmux itself might be running remotely) so the tmux kill is easier than having to remember whether I need to ~. or ~~. But ultimate there is no right nor wrong way to do things here, it's all just a question of preference and habit.
- majewsky 9y agoSince I didn't know about <Enter>~. until a few days ago, I usually `killall ssh` or the specific PID.
- Groxx 9y agoTypically I just wait for timeout, or open a new session (remote tmux session makes this quite painless). Plenty of other things to do, usually, waiting a couple minutes every week or three doesn't bug me enough to google.
