Control-C no longer responds in Terminal

[bootedbear]

I have a weird-ism on my one remaining Jaguar installation: control-C has stopped responding in Terminal windows.

This makes it a pain to ping, tail -f and other functions that need the control-C to halt.

Anyone encountered this? I cannot recall any config changes that could have triggered this.

thanks!

You've not enabled the full keyboard access stuff, have you?

I thing that control-c does something .. can't remember what though.

Try removing the preference file and then opening Terminal again.

In the Finder, click on the Go menu and select the Go to Folder... menu item and then type this: ~/Library/Preferences

Once in there, look for the file: com.apple.Terminal.plist and move it to the desktop and then open the Terminal application again.

Don't delete the file straight away, it might not be the preference at all...
