Parameters
character: Specifies the shortcut key for terminating a task, a single character (or its corresponding ASCII
code value in the range 0 to 127) or a string of 1 to 3 characters. Only the first character of a string
functions as the shortcut key. For example, if you enter an ASCII code value of 1 13, the system uses its
corresponding character q as the shortcut key. If you enter the string q@c, the system uses the first
character q as the shortcut key.
default: Restores the default escape key combination of Ctrl+C.

Use the undo escape-key command to disable the shortcut key for terminating tasks.
By default, you can use Ctrl+C to terminate a task.

terminate a task. To display the shortcut key you have defined, use the display current-configuration
command.
