How to terminate a plotting job in Rstudio

Question

Say I enter the following commands into the console in Rstudio

x=seq(0,1e11, by=.01)
plot(x,sin(x))

Clearly this is a very silly thing to do. But my question is how do you terminate this process? I couldn't find this answered anywhere.

Attempted solutions: pressing ctrl+q, pressing esc, going to session->interupt R, going to session->terminate R. Nothing seems to work. This seems to be specific to plotting, for example if you run a stupidly large loop, most of the above options seem to work as expected.

Ideally I'd like a solution that doesn't lose the R script I have been working on in the console (as I haven't saved it in awhile).

Re-posting my comment as an answer since it seems to have solved your problem.

1. Save early, save often, cry less.
2. Try clicking the little red stop icon above the console panel (unlikely to work if you've done all that you've done already).
3. Try copy/pasting the script out to a text editor.
4. Try killing just the rsession process through your OS (might leave RStudio open). The good news is that RStudio is often pretty smart about backing up working copies of scripts, so you might find it's still there even if you have to kill the whole program.
