    I need to edit my sshd_config file through the web console. I tried to edit it through nano, but the control key doesn't do anything, and as I'm sure you all know, ^o and ^x are save and exit, respectively. Is there another keystroke that is substituted in the web console for 'control' or should I just use vi?

    Hmm… I just tried ^x and it worked for me. I’m using Firefox 3 on a windows box. ^o did not work for me.

    Any reason you are not using ssh? Of course you could be trying to fix your ssh access.

    Yea I needed to fix my ssh access. The web console tends to be a bit clunky, but I just opted to reboot and retry using vi, and it worked. Now on to capistrano problems. Thanks.

    Yeah. The web console is a last resort. Sure helps knowing multiple editors. Glad you got it working again.

    The ctrl key-binding doesn’t work with webkit.

    In a pinch, I've been known to use sed to edit files ;)
