I've been forced into using a command line in windows and wondered if there were Linux-like keyboard shortcuts? I googled and didn't find what I was looking for.
Things like ^C, ^Z and such? Thanks all!

A:
Ctrl-C does a similar thing in windows as it does in linux.

In Linux Ctrl-C can halt many stuck processes, but it seems that my stuck windows command is Ctrl-C proof! Thanks though!

A:
You can trap ^C on Windows with SIGINT, just like Linux. The Windows shell, such as it is, doesn't support Unix style job control (at least not in a way analogous to Unix shells), and ^Z is actually the ^D analog for Windows.

A:
Try Ctrl+Break: some programs respond to it instead of Ctrl+C.
Note also that nothing can cancel synchronous network I/O (such as net view \\invalid) on Windows before Vista.
