CTRL+F (Break to KD)

The CTRL+F key cancels commands or breaks into the debugger. (This control key is particularly useful when you are using CDB to debug KD itself.)

CTRL+F  ENTER 

Environment

Debuggers

CDB, KD

Modes

user mode, kernel mode

Targets

live, crash dump

Platforms

all

Remarks

Under typical conditions, CTRL+F is identical to the standard break commands (CTRL+C in KD and CDB, and Debug | Break or CTRL+BREAK in WinDbg.)

However, if you are debugging KD with CDB, these two keys will work differently. CTRL+C will be intercepted by the host debugger (CDB), while CTRL+F will be intercepted by the target debugger (KD).
