Linux: Knowing what to do when you accidentally pressed the Scroll Lock shortcut
I’ve been a Linux user for a years but still newbie at some simple stuff like keyboard shortcuts when interacting with the shell. Like some command line junkie, I always freak out every time the scroll lock is activated without me noticing it. I always love to kill my test scripts, however in some instances, instead of pressing Ctrl-C my index finger would hit the S key and that would cause my keyboard to lock. I always end up using Google to search for the key combination on for unlocking the keyboard.
To unlock, use Ctrl-Q. Don’t freak out, use Ctrl-Q key combination to unlock your keyboard.
