#400 Usability - CTRL-C as a hotkey to copy and some other to kill running program

[Sandip Chitale]

I am aware of:

401 Usability - CTRL-C as a hotkey

which was closed.

Here is my slightly different proposal:

Allow configuring some key binding other than CTRL-C for killing the currently running program.
Of course I am assuming it is possible to do it using the windows APIs.

This will allow me to use CTRL-C/CTRL-V for copy/paste like all other programs on the desktop.

In case of UNIX tty it is possible to change binding for killing program using stty command e.g.

stty intr ^K
