Reality Break Character

It is possible to define a standard keyboard character which will be interpreted by Reality as the BREAK key.

Note

This is not normally necessary. Do not use this facility unless you need to.

If necessary, this is done by setting the REALBREAK environment variable which takes the following formats:

SET REALBREAK="x"sets x as the BREAK key.

SET REALBREAK="^x"sets CTRL+x as the BREAK key (the caret character ^ must be typed to represent the CTRL key).
For example, SET REALBREAK="^a" sets CTRL+A as the BREAK key.

SET REALBREAK="" disables the BREAK key. Note that this only disables the ability to interpret a standard keyboard character as the BREAK key - if the keyboard has an actual BREAK key, this still functions correctly.

The default, if REALBREAK does not exist, is CTRL+C.

Note

Quote delimiters are not normally necessary on UNIX.

REALBREAK is set in one of the following files:

UNIX

/etc/profile
$HOME/.profile
$HOME/.realityrc

Windows

%REALROOT%\files\realityrc
