Hello,

I was editing package.keywords on ctrl,alt f1 vith vim

I know I pressed a ctrl- ? (opps it may have been f or s) & the terminal has totaly locked :-(

I tried the usual, Esc etc, I tried everything.

I did a ps ax

2762 tty1     S+     0:00 vi package.keywords

followed by a

kill 2762

It still stays alive !

followed by a

kill -9 2762

That killed it but my terminal is still frozen.

I remember someting about terminal ctrl codes freezing output in one of my linux books but cannot find it again. I could be wrong but I suspect I just have to ctrl - something to unlock it.

Any ideas ?

Dave
