Using CTRL + C to kill localhost, but command line then becomes unresponsive

Using iTerm2 on my Macbook Pro, when I kill localhost with CTRL + C, the terminal becomes unresponsive and I am left on a blank line unable to do anything. On my older laptop, it would direct me back to the directory I was on.

The photo showcases:

  • localhost running
  • CTRL + C
  • ^Cmake: *** [Makefile:64: run_dev_build_container] Interrupt line shows and kills localhost
  • Unresponsive terminal

enter image description here

Solution 
  • control + \

    This command will kill localhost and direct you back to your root folder in your terminal.
