Ctrl S suspends output in Konsole and other terminal emulators.

Hi

First, thanks for the awesome job!. I ran in an issue, tho. I prefer using vim (as opposed to gvim) in konsole. The default mapping is grabbed by konsole and therefore not usable in vim.

I changed the mapping by default to s.

Actually this is a bit of a problem in gnome-terminal. Because in Konsole you can disable this feature, by going to
Settings -> Configure Profile -> Choose current profile -> Edit Profile -> Advanced Tab
and disable Enable flow control using Ctrl+S and Ctrl+Q

But I also think that Ctrl+S is a bad choice for default keystroke, since the fact that most of the people(this part that does not use gnome-terminal, though :D) map it for :write

@xowlinx: Did you see @vladimiroff's comment about how to disable the control flow functionality in Konsole?

The problem with just s is that it already has a meaning in command mode, and also that it'd be nice to have the same key combination send lines to ipython regardless of the mode (in visual, in insert, and in command).

@vladimiroff: I'm not seeing a problem in gnome-terminal, and I think it's because I have stty stop undef in my .bashrc - which solves the flow control problems in screen (as well as enables the forward-search for bash). (It appears so, I'll add a not to the readme)

Perhaps in the future - the right thing to do is to no define any bindings, and just provide sample bindings for the user to uncomment. Alternatively, we could define a parameter that tells vim-ipython if it should define binds or not, so folks could do that from their .vimrc

@ivanov, I didn't know about this option(And since my issue was solved by konsole, I haven't search for it).

Perhaps in the future - the right thing to do is to no define any bindings, and just provide sample bindings for the user to uncomment. - This is a nice solution.

Ok, I think this issue has been sufficiently documented in the README, and with the new ability to disable default mappings with let g:ipy_perform_mappings=0 in one's .vimrc, I'm going to close this.
