On Linux/Unix there are signals. The CtrlC one (SIGINT) is obvious to me. Now, in some other applications there are signals via CtrlX?! Is that even a signal or does it generate an escape sequence? Is there anything else I can use as something similar to CtrlC ( CtrlV, CtrlX ...)?

If anyone has a clue, im familiar with C more than bash, but answers in both languages are appreciated!
