Editing Break key (section)

==Usage for breaking the program's execution==
While both {{keypress|Ctrl|Break}} and {{keypress|Ctrl|C}} combination are commonly implemented as a way of breaking the execution of a console application, they are also used for similar effect in [[integrated development environment]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff540312.aspx |title=CTRL+C (Break) |publisher=Msdn.microsoft.com |date=2010-03-30 |access-date=2010-10-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff541727.aspx |title=Debug Break |publisher=Msdn.microsoft.com |date=2010-03-30 |access-date=2010-10-22}}</ref> Although these two are often considered interchangeable,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Ctrl-Break |title=Ctrl-Break definition of Ctrl-Break in the Free Online Encyclopedia |publisher=Encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com |access-date=2010-10-22}}</ref> compilers and execution environments usually assign different signals to these.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs/discuss/subproc-ctrl-c |title=Re: trouble passing ^C through to processes running in a *shell* |website=www.gnu.org |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022172337/https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs/discuss/subproc-ctrl-c |archive-date=October 22, 2012}}</ref> Additionally, in some kernels (e.g. miscellaneous DOS variants) {{keypress|Ctrl|C}} is detected only at the time OS tries reading from a keyboard buffer and only if it's the only key sequence in the buffer,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/os_dos.html#dos-CTRL-Break |title=Vim documentation: vim online |publisher=Vim.org |access-date=2010-10-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ousob.com/ng/dos5/ng27979.php |title=ClipX&nbsp;— DOS 5.0 Ref. - int 23h ctrl-c handler |publisher=Ousob.com |access-date=2010-10-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304031501/http://www.ousob.com/ng/dos5/ng27979.php |archive-date=2016-03-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref> while {{keypress|Ctrl|Break}} is often translated instantly (e.g. by [[BIOS call|INT 1Bh]] under DOS). Because of this, {{keypress|Ctrl|Break}} is usually a more effective choice under these operating systems; sensitivity for these two combinations can be enhanced by the <code>[[BREAK (CONFIG.SYS directive)|BREAK]]=ON</code> [[CONFIG.SYS]] statement.
