So, my Scroll Lock key doesn't have much use, while I keep hitting Ctrl+S with no intention of stopping control flow.
I know how to disable Ctrl+S from locking scroll (stty -ixon
), but can I use Scroll Lock key instead for the same use?
– UPDATE –
In my terminal Scroll Lock does not stop control flow. My question is how to assign that function to that key.

Use
stty stop undef
andstty start undef
. This way, C-s and C-q are being freed for other purposes, but ScrLock still controls flow.This might be shell and/or terminal-specific, though.
