Re: What is the CANCEL key?

Its normally the system interrupt key - which on unix is normally
configured to be ctrl-c

$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 42; columns 202; line = 0;
*intr = ^C; *quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt =
^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; discard = ^O;
min = 1; time = 0;

Its possible to map another key to emulate the interrupt key - which is
what the TUICANCELKEY  is for
