Bzzt. Programs that want to accept commands like control-s
are supposed to put the terminal into raw mode. The
readline library does this. If it didn't work,
something's wrong.
That's interesting. Is the (stop/start) ^s/^q feature of the terminal
even useful these days? Why is it defaulted on?
Yes, it's useful. I use it every other day or so when
a program is spewing lots of output; I hit ^s, then
I can scroll back without having it scroll to the
end every time the program outputs something else.
