Title says it all. I remember using ctrl+C once but I am not sure if it is actually working. Thanks in advance!

As you've said, Ctrl+C should terminate the REPL for you.
The way you know it's worked is because when you are in the repl, the prefix in the console should be:
java>
When you're not in the repl, the prefix in the console should be:
treehouse:~/workspace$
Hope it helps and if you have any problems with this, give me a shout :)

945 PointsYes. It was some sort of Workplace error that did not allow me to terminate. I closed Chrome and reloaded everything. CTRL + C works! Thanks Harry.

14,780 PointsAwesome! Glad you got it working in the end :)
I often find that if I have glitches with the Console section of the Workspace, going into View tab and hiding then showing the console often fixes issues so if you ever run into a problem like this again, give it a go!

12,842 PointsWhy is Ctrl + C used as the hotkey sequence to terminate REPL? It seems odd to use a common hotkey for copy as the way to terminate the program vs. say, the classic Esc key.
