Escape

[Tom Anderson]

When working on my desktop, I can press CTRL + Break to escape from the program and reach a command prompt.

But on my laptop, there is no break key and I can't the program to break.

Does anyone know of another KB sequence that will break the program?

Thanks!

CTRL + FN + END/PAUSE should work.

The BREAK key on laptops varies from one keyboard to another.  Generally you will find a Pause or Break key on the keyboard that will work, however it may require an additional to be pressed such as a Fn key which is found on some laptops.  You would need to consult with the laptop manual to see which keystroke emulates the Break button.

I know this is an old topic, but it just came up recently for us. The Ctrl-fn-End/Pause did not work, but ctrl-fn-B did. This was on Dell Precision laptops.
