Ctrl-C is a red-herring here. Esc-Enter alone is sufficient to switch control processing. Tested in Python 2.7 and 3.9 using xfce4-terminal in Fedora: 1. Ctrl-L clears the terminal window; 2. Type Esc-Enter; 3. Ctrl-L now inserts an actual ^L (chr(12) linefeed) instead of being captured by the terminal and clearing the screen. I am 80% sure this is a *terminal feature* not a Python bug, to allow you to insert control characters into the command line, but I can't reproduce it in bash or find a way to revert back to normal processing. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43070> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
