how to stop a command in the VS Code terminal

Question

I\'ve been stopping commands with the trash can for too long. Command period doesn\'t work on Mac. I can\'t find anywhere how to stop the terminal via a command. Anyone know wha

Answer 1

In certain cases, such as running a Node server, Ctrl-C wouldn't work. Instead, you can stop the app or command by pressing Ctrl+Alt+M (i.e. Ctrl+Option+M for mac users).

Sample JavaScript code to demonstrate this:

const http = require('http');

http.createServer((req, res) => {
    res.write('Hello, world!');
    res.end();
}).listen(5000, () => console.log('Server running...'));
