In the Terminal, you might need to press Ctrl-V first to quote the
next keystroke. e.g. if you want a Ctrl-C in the Terminal, you have
to type Ctrl-V Ctrl-C. Of course, if you want a Ctrl-V, you need
Ctrl-V Ctrl-V. Also, Ctrl-A will move to the start of the line, so
you need Ctrl-V Ctrl-A. Ctrl-E will move to the end of the line
unless you quote it with Ctrl-V, etc...
