Change ctrl-shift-6 x Doesn't work for me.

[Larry Kuntz]

I need to make a change on my terminal server so that I do not have to use the standard ctrl-shift-6 x key sequence.

I tried putting in these lines below however I am either doing something wrong or it does not work.  Does anyone know how to do this?  I have checked on CCO, Google, Dogpile etc. and I am unable to find anything. 

I have all of the links on CCO so I do not need those.  Rather an explanation of what I am doing wrong based up on what I have shown below.

I put in the commands below so I could use Ctrl-C.  My understanding is that I would press Ctrl-C instead of ctrl-shift-6 x to make things work however they are not.

Thank you in advance.

Router#terminal escape-character 3

Router(config-line)#escape-character 3

and

outer#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#lin
Router(config)#line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)#escape-character 3

I put this in so I could use Ctrl-C.  My understanding is that I would press Ctrl-C instead of ctrl-shift-6 x to make things work however they are not.

I have found that ctl-shift-6 doesn't work in a ssh session, only through the console cable. Try that.

ctrl-C is already assigned 
see section : CLI Command Keyboard Shortcuts
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/7-0/command/reference/cli70bk/cli70over.pdf  

so your configuration command should produce an error. apearently it is simply ignored instead

another suggestion...
ctrl-shift-6 x key sequence  is not correct it is ctrl-^ x
where shift-6 produces "^" when the keyboard is setup as VS-international
if your keyboard is setup for another language, then the "^" character may be on a different key.
