How to make an interrupt assignment in the terminal stick

http://askubuntu.com – I followed the instructions from enzotib's answer on Making Ctrl+C copy text in gnome-terminal? to make the ctrl-c and ctrl-v keys act consistent in the terminal and then re-assign ctrl-j to be the cancel/interrupt key for ongoing processes. The instructions works great...until I close the terminal. Next time I open the ctrl-j has to be re-assigned. I don't want to have to type out stty intr ^J each time I open terminal. How do I make that key assignment stick? (HowTos)

When I need to open a terminal I press CTRL+ALT+T to save time. Most of the time absolutely nothing happens, I try to press same combination again, and still nothing happens. After like 5-8 tries terminal window finally appears.

hi guys, first sorry for my english

I'm a newbie about Linux, i've just installed fedora 18.

C and V keys not working..Help! 14 weeks 17 hours ago

I am using Ubuntu 12.04. I was tinkering around learning the commands and stuff in terminal. I was a bit irritated that I couldn't copy and paste using only the keyboard. So I googled on how to add these shortcuts to my terminal.. I came upon these commands on DistroGeeks:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/gnome-terminal/keybindings/copy -t str 'c'

for adding Ctrl + C to copy...

I`m confused there are 3 kind of Terminal i have saw in ubuntu

xTerm, Terminal (Gnome terminal) ctrl+shift+T and virtual terminal ctrl+alt+F[1-6]

why are there many terminals and what is the point of those specially gnome terminal and virtual terminal

Steps to reproduce:

have zsh as default shell open a new terminal. for example, with Ctrl+Alt+t press Ctrl+Shift+t to open a new terminal tab "^T%" appears as the first line

I'm running ubuntu 11.10 with lxde and zsh-4.3.11

gnome-terminal doesn't have this problem

I came across a sentence in vimdoc:

Note: CTRL-S does not work on all terminals and might block further input, use CTRL-Q to get going again.

and this key indeed hangs my vim. I was thinking that it was the fault of vim, since there was no problem when I use C-s/C-x C-s in emacs nox.

Hi guys this might seem like a fairly easy question but for the life of me I can't figure out how to invoke CTRL-a in a linux terminal session. I am trying to share a screen using screen.

When I press CTRL-/ in a graphical terminal (e.g. xterm) I get "undo". However, in a virtual terminal (e.g.

I have a program which is supposed to handle SIGINT and gracefully shut down. When I run this program from a terminal without backgrounding it I can shut it down just fine using Ctrl-C. Inspecting the logs shows that everything worked as expected.

When I open a separate terminal and call kill -2 [pid] or kill -s INT [pid] it does nothing.
