Yep, pressing Ctrl-S in a terminal and having it freeze up is extremely confusing at the best of times. Because I often (used to) press Ctrl-S as a reflex against certain crashy software, I'd not even really recall pressing it and then I'd wonder what the hell was going on.
Then again, I have saved :wq into a few text files too!
- cesarb 5y ago> Yep, pressing Ctrl-S in a terminal and having it freeze up is extremely confusing at the best of times. At least some terminals (IIRC, KDE's Konsole is one of them) show a helpful colored bar telling you that the output is paused and you should press Ctrl-Q to resume. Unfortunately, other popular terminals (like Gnome's gnome-terminal) don't have any visible indication for that.
