    @rebane2001 @bert_hubert I wasn’t aware that there’s more than `~.` 🤯

        Yes, but did you know that it is basically inaccessible on Keyboard layouts like e.g. de-DE?

            I learned about this escape feature during my Solaris sysadmin training in 2007, but never used it and had forgotten all about it.

              @rebane2001 Always know that there is a key combination to close ssh connection
              Also always forget what key is

                  @agowa338 @rebane2001 MacOS and Windows both have plain OpenSSH, and the listed escape sequences work on both.

                    @rebane2001 I'm forever annoyed that the command sequence starter is a newline of all things.

                    Telnet's UX was a lot better in this regard imo.

                      @bob_zim @agowa338 @rebane2001 *if* your keyboard layout has a functioning tilde key (a deadkey might output something else and it's nontrivial to make it output just the character itself (and it depends on the OS how it deals with it))
