I have been using Visual Studio code a lot lately and like a lot of IDEs you can get used to using CTRL-S to save as it is quicker than using "esc :w" - if you are using vim bindings like I do.
However when I now use a plain terminal window outside of VScode and I use vim I forget that I am not in VS code, I use ctrl-s and unfortunately it seems to freeze the terminal window and I have not found a way to recover it. Currently I have to kill the terminal window and then recover the file.
How to recover from the ctrl-s freeze ?

Ctrl-S can be undone with Ctrl Q (The ASCII XOFF and XON characters used for stopping & starting paper tape readers on Model 35ASR TeleTypes).
