Ctrl-C stopped working for me at the terminal when using zsh (on mac osx). I didn't notice the exact moment that it happend so I can't be sure what caused it.

I didd't update zsh in a while though. and didn't touch .zshrc (I have it at a repo http://github.com/astrails/dotzsh)

If I run bash, ^C works in it.

If I run any command, like cat, ^C will work to stop it too. but inside zsh it just doesn't do anything.

bindkey | grep \\^C

gives

"^B"-"^C" self-insert
  • zsh 4.3.10 (i386-apple-darwin10.4.3), installed though ports (zsh-devel @4.3.10_0+doc+examples+mp_completion+pcre)
  • mac os 10.6.6

    Does it work without your .zshrc? (Try zsh --no-rcs.)

  • hmmmmm. it does. silly me. but I didn't change it in a while and there are at least 3 other people in the company using the same set of configs.

that was a bug in rvm (ruby version manager) that I did update lately

I had some funny business (mostly with CTRL-A just printing out "^A" instead of moving the cursor to home position of the command line), but I got rid of it by disabled the "vi-mode" plugin in .zshrc :)

  • why would I disable it if thats the mode I'm using? :) anyway, as you can see above the problem was with RVM
