How to resume a Linux terminal session after hitting CTRL-S
Many times I’ve gone to hit CTRL-K, S in a JOE session to save changes to a file but missed the “K” meaning I actually sent CTRL-S to the terminal which sends a “stop flow” signal.
Previously I’ve always just disconnected the session and restarted with a fresh one meaning I lost any changes to the file since my last save so tonight I decided to find out how to recover from this. Turns out all you need to do is hit CTRL-Q and you’ll be able to see all the changes that were sent to the screen since you hit CTRL-S.
