If your terminal ever gets confused by random control sequences, for example after you accidentally output binary data, there's a good chance you can restore order with the `reset` command.

#Linux #Shell #SystemAdministration #SysAdmin

@monospace and if you notice that your terminal cursor no longer appears on your screen after you end an SSH connection to a remote host, or after exiting a program, you can likely revive it with `tput cnorm` !
@monospace on VTxxx terminals and emulators, you just need to remember `echo ^V^O` (Ctrl-V Ctrl-O)
@hyc Interesting, a reset sequence. Typing 'reset' is probably quicker, though.
@monospace ‘stty sane’ is my go to :)
@M0CUV At least one sane item in the office, amirite? 🤣
