So, you’re connected to a server via SSH, doing your wizardry and dark magic. Suddenly, a wild Pidgey appears. Just kidding.
You left the SSH connection opened, and went to grab a cup of coffee, only to come back and find that you can’t do anything with your terminal anymore. Oh noo.. broken pipe, again?? I need to kill this terminal and start new one, because stupid Ctrl + C nor Ctrl + D work.
Hold on for a second. There is no need for that kind of blasphemy. There is a simple and easy way to shut down opened session and get back to your already opened terminal.
How, you say? Use this key combo (in sequence):
Enter + ~ + .
This will shut down the session and let you go back to your old terminal.
To see other available options try this key combo:
Enter + ~ + ?
Not bad, huh?
Cheers.
