Searching for this problem is itself problematic because the description is kind of vague and has no hard search-terms for it.Ĭommand as per John S. My guess is that both problems have an underlying reason, but I'm kind of stumped on how or what that reason is. But when I exit Vim my shell stops showing the characters I type into it. This works like a charm (although not as fast as I'd hoped). I use grep to find files that have a certain pattern and then I want to open all the files that result from the grep. The second way this happens is when I give a command like this: $ grep foo * -l | xargs vim when I give the "reset" command the shell starts working normally again.I press enter and I'm given a listing of the files, in other words: the command is executed.I only see an empty prompt and nothing more.When I press enter the commands are submitted. When I then go and type commands into the shell, the characters I type don't show up.
I'm running a certain process, and sometimes when I stop that or it breaks control is given back to the shell. I'll describe the two ways I've come across this problem:
MINECRAFT SERVER MAC RESTART COMMAND DOES NOT WORK HOW TO
I know how to solve it, but I really don't like it when I'm "voodooing" my way of out of problems. I've come across this problem quite a few times and I don't understand what causes it. My problem is that the Bash shell stops showing the characters I type into it.
