If I accidentally type in cd ` instead of cd ~ I get a > symbol, however CRTL C does not restore normal command line operation like my Ubuntu desktop does. I am running the Pengutronix 2012.12.0 BSP and Linux 3.7. Maybe, time for a new keyboard, that key does get quite a bit of use. Just wondering if there is a known reason for this minor inconvenience.
cd ` command
What you type is called a "multi line command" # command with many and long params can also be given as: # command "with > many > and > long > params" Just enter a second " or ' to end the multi line command.
