CTRL-S

When you hit CTRL-S the terminal freezes. This is handy when a program produces a lot of output in a terminal. You can pause the scrolling and then have time to read
To continue the scrolling, undo CTRL-S, do CTRL-Q
To make every key to have to undo CTRL-S add stty -ixany to ~/.bashrc
When you want to disble this CTRL-S function add stty -ixon to ~/.bashrc. -ixoff has no function
It also works manually; stty -ixon disables CTRL-S (XON) and stty ixon enables CTRL-S
