ctrl + s hangs the shell, then press ctrl +q to resume

Many of you who are familiar with Emacs(ctrl +x and ctrl +s) or Windows (ctrl +s), have an habit of pressing ctrl+s often. If you are in a shell and type ctrl +s, the shells freezes and does not allow anything to be edited.

To unfreeze the shell, press ctrl +q instead of closing the session.

Hope this helps
