In MobaXterm, any time you press ctrl, it opens the “find in terminal” dialog, preventing you from using hotkeys like ctrl+c or ctrl+z.

How do you work around this?

    Same problem here - and Alt seems to close the application now! It's not down to remapping via keyboard shortcuts.

    I should note that I originally intended "control + c" to mean "cancel" as is standard in many terminal applications, however I agree that your answer may be useful to some people who may find this via google

Find in terminal is ctrl+shift+F by default. You must have remapped your keys.

If you go to Settings -> Keyboard Shortcuts in Mobaxterm you can remap your "Find in Terminal" back to the default setting.

Similar issue, pressing CTRL alone resulted in same action as CTRL-TAB, even though keyboard map had not been changed & this action was still correctly mapped as CTRL-TAB.

Cleared by pressing CTRL & TAB several times, thereafter it did not respond to CTRL on its own, and allowed use of CTRL-C again.
