Usually Ctrl-S is the key to stop output to the terminal with UNIX-type
operating systems. 'man stty' should give your more information about
this. Related is the fact that some keys like this get interpreted by
the terminal and therefore are not available for key binding in mutt.
In mutt prompts some keys are special: Ctrl-G terminates the input
aborting the action. When prompting for file names, the "space" key
(not to confuse with the "any" key :-) doesn't work as expected for
most people: this key cycles through all mailbox names with new mail
for the change-folder function, just beeps for others. To really
enter a space, use the input quoting mechanism by prepending Ctrl-V .
