How to kill a process in a terminal inside emacs

emacs

When I code, I usually use multiple buffers in emacs. Some buffers with my code, and a buffer with a terminal emulator (M-x term), There I compile, execute interpreters, etc.

When I get an infinite loop in some computation, I cannot kill my process (As one could do with a normal terminal with Ctrl-C), since obviously the terminal embedded in emacs doesn't get the interrupt.

Is there a way to do this?

As mentioned in the comments, by @ALiX using Ctrl+C+ Ctrl+C (2 times) worked.

Emacs command to cut OR copy to system clipboard

On Linux, you can use xclip.el (https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/xclip.el) to link the kill-ring to the clipboard from Emacs running in terminal (without losing the multiple-kill and yank capability).

To install: M-x package-install RET xclip RET. To use, just add (xclip-mode 1) to your ~/.emacs.

This didn't exist on Mac, so I modified xclip.el to work with the OSX pbcopy and pbpaste utilities. The result, pbcopy.el, is available here: https://gist.github.com/1023272

You can put a function like follows into your .emacs and bind it to any key you like.

  "Insert the full path file name into the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (insert (buffer-file-name (window-buffer (minibuffer-selected-window)))))
