Put control character in eclipse console

Question

How can I put a control character, such as CTRL + R, in a console in Eclipse on Linux?
I run the script inside Eclipse and stop at some point. Then I need to continue it by typing Ctrl + R. This works fine if I do it in a regular terminal, but it does not work in the Eclipse console.

You just can't .

The console is perceived as an input / output representation, and not as a shell. Not only input capabilities are limited by simple keys, but output ability is truncated. You cannot, for example, control a \ b Eclipse console.

If you want to use the shell in the Eclipse view and then run your script, you can always open it, see fooobar.com/questions/29308 / ...
