If you are running a command or a script on the Mac Terminal and you want to know how to stop/terminate the execution and come back to your prompt then you can press Control + Z keys on your Mac keyboard.
Let's take an example where we ran a ping command, and want to stop it, just pressing Control + Z stops the execution as shown below.
Code2care@Mac % ping code2care.org
PING code2care.org (104.21.91.10): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 104.21.91.10: icmp_seq=0 ttl=58 time=9.099 ms
...

64 bytes from 104.21.91.10: icmp_seq=5 ttl=58 time=12.931 ms
^Z
zsh: suspended ping code2care.org
The ^Z characters appear on the screen and the command got suspended.
