Certain characters and control key combinations have special functions that Synergy DBL supports as input. The following table lists and describes the control key combinations that Synergy DBL supports on the various operating systems.
The UNIX control key combinations listed in the table are the most common default settings, although you can change any one of them using the stty command. (For example, most Synergy DBL programs use Ctrl+C as interrupt and Delete/Rubout as Backspace.) Refer to “Terminal settings used by Synergy DBL” in the “UNIX Development” chapter of your Professional Series Portability Guide (PDF) or your UNIX system commands manual for more information.

Interrupt program execution, unless the program uses the FLAGS subroutine to ignore this signal. If it’s not ignored, a single key terminates a Synergy program that is not running in debug mode. If the program is running in debug mode, this key returns control to the debugger. This key typed as input to the debugger terminates the program. Echoes to the terminal as Ctrl+Y on OpenVMS. Does not echo on UNIX. |
