This is what I DID:
1. Start Console2
2. ping www.google.ca -t
3. Tap CTRL-C
This is what I EXPECTED to happen:
1. Console2 would stop pinging www.google.ca
This is what ACTUALLY happened:
1. Console2 ignores the keypress and continues pinging forever until the window or tab is closed.
Troubleshooting:
1. Checked Shell. Edit -> Settings -> Set Shell: to C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe ...
2. Checked Hotkeys and reassigned "Copy Selection" from CTRL+C to CTRL+X
This appears to have resolved the issue.
Suggestion on how to repair:
1. When the "Copy on Select" option is selected, the Copy Selection Hotkey should be disabled.
2. Prevent the CTRL-C key from being selected as a hotkey, (Perhaps?) since this is a cruical function of the console.
This is a minor usability issue and is more a suggestion for improvement. The Copy Selection Hotkey was defaulted to CTRL-C and may cause
unexpected operation to someone who is relatively new to the application and didn't think to look there for configuration.
Thank you.
Where did you get your Console distribution?
The official distribution does NOT have Ctrl+C as a shortcut for Copy Selection, it's actually Ctrl+Insert.
RE 1: I doubt that this one will ever be implemented just because it's a very patchy way. A better idea is to disable shortcuts, applicable only when there is a selection. And I keep thinking about that but haven't found a reasonable implementation yet.
RE 2: Can't do that. Obviously, using Ctrl+C for any shortcut is asking for troubles. BUT it's true only for a subset of shells. And given the multitude of possible shells, I can't even warn the user (I mean I can, but I'll be wrong so often).
OK. Thanks for the prompt response. You are correct about the defaults, my bad. Selecting CTRL-C as a hotkey was some PEBCAK on my part, I apologize.
RE1 would be a acceptable solution. Optionally, giving the user the option of disabling all shortcuts without selection may also be an option.
This ticket can be closed. Thank you for your time.
