1 – Description
By default, the Ctrl/C sequence, when entered within a debugging
session, aborts the execution of a debugger command and
interrupts program execution. The SET ABORT_KEY command enables
you to assign the abort function to another Ctrl-key sequence.
The SHOW ABORT_KEY command identifies the Ctrl-key sequence
currently in effect for the abort function.

2 – Example
DBG> SHOW ABORT_KEY
Abort Command Key is CTRL_C
DBG> SET ABORT_KEY = CTRL_P
DBG> SHOW ABORT_KEY
Abort Command Key is CTRL_P
DBG>
In this example, the first SHOW ABORT_KEY command identifies
the default abort command key sequence, Ctrl/C. The SET ABORT_
KEY = CTRL_P command assigns the abort-command function to
Ctrl/P, as confirmed by the second SHOW ABORT_KEY command.
