Keyboard interrupt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Incnis Mrsi (talk | contribs) at 10:16, 21 August 2010 (the idea that an interrupt from keyboard controller is something closely related to SIGINT etc. did not persuade me). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

In computing, keyboard interrupt may refer to:

  • A special case of signal (computing), a condition (often implemented as an exception) usually generated by the keyboard in the text user interface
  • A hardware interrupt generated when a key is pressed or released, see keyboard controller (computing)
