Using the shell outside of emacs I hit ^c and then type 'a' to abort a call that doesn't terminate. How do I do this inside emacs as it absorbs the ^c and waits for something else? I tried the signal menu but couldn't abort the call.
You have to escape these things with another ^C, i.e., ^C is ^C^C, ^D is ^C^D, etc.
When typing in emacs it matches the brackets that you type by moving the cursor. Is there a way to switch this off?
Note that the cursor does not really move, it just points out the matching parenthesis. It is in the Options menu.
