How to disable the Ctrl-S (XOFF) keystroke in Putty

February 28, 2011 · General · Email This Post

If you are connecting your server or desktop through putty and if you press Ctrl-S accidentally it will send Xoff the only way to recover is by pressing Ctrl-Q.

If you want to disable this use the folloing commands from your terminal

echo "stty -ixon" >> ~/.bash_profile
reset

For more options check stty man page from here

Thank to richard for this tip.
