Feb 24, 2017 at 10:48 comment added lmat - Reinstate Monica The answers are unsatisfying. The gist is: the data that got queued up between when the command started outputting and when you press ^C is enough to keep your terminal program busy for several seconds. So it seems that the terminal program should be able to simply throw away data for a while...skip some bytes, something?

Jun 18, 2014 at 18:36 comment added psimon Just an idea: if you have some exact commands that you usually accidentally execute and they generate a lot of output, why not just append some aliases to .bashrc?
Jun 18, 2014 at 18:32 comment added Mark Plotnick You might try starting your xterm with the -j option, to enable jump scrolling. The basic problem is that the remote can send data faster than the terminal window can display it - by default, it has to bitblt the contents of the window every time a new line is printed. A whole lot of data can get buffered up by the time your Ctrl-C gets received by the remote system, and your terminal program will try to display all of it.

Jun 18, 2014 at 18:25 comment added rr- The server runs on Debian. Edited the question. Ctrl-O seems to do nothing as well. Perhaps it's the client thing?

Jun 18, 2014 at 18:24 comment added Mark Plotnick On which system are you running the actual programs that produce the output? Linux, Unix, or Windows? Linux and UNIX ought to accept Ctrl-O, which means "discard any output that is written to this terminal".
