At one time it did. In fact I think exactly zero screen oriented editors I have ever used in a terminal don’t honor control c as break. Giving a statement that it doesn’t work isn’t handling it the way the terminal line oriented programs work.
- quesera 4y agoI would not argue that a screen-oriented editor should interrupt/exit on Ctrl-C. Certainly not without confirmation. (Note that "Break" is another key sequence entirely. If someone asks you to send a Break, you would not send Ctrl-C.) I am arguing that setting Ctrl-C to any other action (esp a very common action like Copy) in a terminal environment application of any kind, e.g. a screen-oriented editor, is a bad idea.
