I often don't think of this one because I tend to ssh from host to host, and ~. kills the topmost one -- not always what you want.

Note that this sequence must come after a newline (which is why I can type it in this message!), so you may need to type "<enter>~." > I was also going to suggest the use of /usr/bin/screen.
