stop current computation does not work?

[LosemindL]

Press "ESC" is supposed to be able to stop the current computation... but
often times it does not really work... I had to kill the R process to stop
and restart the session...

What is a good way to stop/cancel the current computation?

R...

Also this may depend on the package you're using. For some functions in some
packages ctrl+c (or anything else) does not work. This is because C code
cannot be interrupted unless it is written with some care, and there are
some packages which do not support interruption. At least my igraph package
is such, so there is at least one of them.  :) or rather :(
