Find your invisible cursor

by Eric Steele

A quick solution for the missing terminal input caused by control-c'ing while in a pdb prompt.

If you've ever hit control-c while in a pdb prompt, you may have wound up with a missing cursor in your terminal. Any text you enter is essentially invisible. I know I manage to do it several times a day. Entering 'tset' will return your cursor to you.

In bash, you can also type reset.

Use Ctrl-D for soft exit

Ctrl-D sends a pdb quit and does not stop zope, but abort the current request.
