For a long time I'd been annoyed that I couldn't use C-c C-c to interrupt processes that I'd started via "sudo" in shell-mode. For example, I'd type
M-x shell RET then sudo find / then as it spewed tons of lines into the shell buffer, I'd frantically type C-c C-c, to no avail. This was only a problem on GNU/Linux, however; on FreeBSD, for example, C-c C-c works nicely. Anyway, someone suggested that I try enabling (i.e., uncommenting) SIGNALS_VIA_CHARACTERS in s/gnu-linux.h. I did that, and it worked fine -- and in fact has been working fine for months, on both a 2.4 and a 2.6 kernel. I wonder, then, if it's time to reactivate that. The comment which says it doesn't work appears to be thirteen years old; presumably the Linux kernel has changed since then ;-) In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.12 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2006-06-16 on debian configured using `configure '--enable-maintainer-mode'' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: nil locale-coding-system: utf-8 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Shell Minor modes in effect: erc-autojoin-mode: t erc-match-mode: t display-time-mode: t shell-dirtrack-mode: t iswitchb-mode: t encoded-kbd-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t unify-8859-on-encoding-mode: t utf-translate-cjk-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent input: ESC x r e p o r t - e m TAB b u TAB RET Recent messages: Loading ansi-color...done Loading grep...done I guess we don't have tabbar available.
