How to call quoted-insert?

I am trying to write a function which will send a Control-C character followed by RET.

If I am in the shell, I know that I have to do C-q C-c to send a Control-C. I'd like to write a function that will just do this for me.

I've gotten as far as seeing that the quoted-insert function is what I need to use but it's not clear to me from the docs on how to call it. Can anyone offer a pointer?

Solution

  • All I wanted to do was this:

    (defun send-control-c ()
  (interactive)
  "Inserts quoted ^C into the buffer and hits enter"
  (insert "")
  (comint-send-input))
