CTRL/C (Control C) Function
Key Sequence
CTRL/C
Description
CTRL/C interrupts certain operations before EDT finishes processing them.
You can use CTRL/C to stop a runaway search through a long file or to stop a
long repeat count. CTRL/C halts certain EDT operations. For example, you can
use CTRL/C to stop EDT from printing a whole buffer when you have used the
line-mode TYPE command to move to another buffer.
When EDT aborts the operation, it prints the message ‘‘Aborted by CTRL/C.’’ If
EDT cannot stop a particular process, it prints the message ‘‘CTRL/C ignored.’’
Example
Stops EDT from printing the entire contents of the buffer DARCY_LET.
