> Why would it matter? Because that's the intuitive behavior in the terminal. The other programs you listed launch their own window and are obviously a different context. Even things like vim and emacs (the foundational terminal editors) will give you a message that ctrl+c doesn't work the way you expect (admittedly in emacs you have to hit it repeatedly), because it's so expected that it's assumed that's what you're going to try. You can have different behavior with ctrl + c, but it's going to be confusing enough that you're also going to have to print a message for everyone else.
