Or typing `reset`, which is sometimes also necessary after accidentally piping binary to stdout.

`reset` won't work if you have used the escape sequence that disables raw mode, at which point the shell won't be able to process keyboard input anymore and you simply cannot issue commands. I'm not aware of any method for fixing this that doesn't involve restarting the terminal.

You should still be able to `reset` in line-buffering mode.
