How do I break out of a readline() loop in RStudio?

Question

If "my friend" made the foolish mistake of entering the following code in RStudio, how would I (I mean, he!) break out of the loop (without restarting R)?

while (TRUE) readline()

Answer 1

You can restart the R session within RStudio using: Ctrl+Shift+F10 in Windows or Command+Shift+F10 in Mac. The workspace and the command history won't be cleared so, I suppose, it would be as if you broke out of the loop.
