I was just taking up the requester's example. Sure ^C is an interrupt function on the command line. This is handled by the pty driver, not by the terminal. The above configuration is a mintty feature of assigning functions (of which break is just one special case) to key combinations, independent of the stty settings.On 2020-02-19 13:02, Kevin Schnitzius via cygwin wrote:On Tuesday, February 18, 2020, 05:54:23 PM EST, Thomas Wolff wrote:With 3.1.2-1: mintty -o "CA+F12:break" =====> ctrl-alt-F12 causes a break and kills notepad mintty -o "c:break" =====> ctrl-shift-c causes a break and kills notepad mintty -o "C+c:break" =====> FAIL -- ctrl-c kills native apps but notepad is not affected mintty -o "CA+c:break" =====> FAIL -- ctrl-alt-c kills native apps but notepad is not affectedThis would be mintty -o KeyFunctions='CA+F12:break' etc. The latter two are not valid mintty configuration; Ctrl is only supported as a modifier for function keys and special keys, not letters. This is unchanged with the cygwin version.Ah, thank you. That was the clue that I needed. For those also having this problem: mintty.exe -o "KeyFunctions=c:break" -o CtrlExchangeShift=true - will propagate Ctrl-C to the non-native apps and kill them, imitating the behavior of 3.0.X Cygwin. Now that I have played with this for a while, I am thinking that I like the new behavior better and I have assigned a new key to specifically kill native Windows programs instead letting the Ctrl-C do all the work (I am using Alt-F5 to do this).Should the above settings not be the default behaviour for backward compatibility and least surprise to users?
Some recently reported observations are related to the ConPTY project. There have been no changes in mintty concerning keyboard handling.It used to be mintty just worked as expected with most programs, now additional interfaces seem to be required depending on Windows versions, editions, and releases. These helpers should either be included in the package, or be dependencies pulled in by mintty without which it will not install, with the appropriate interfaces installed and configured so that mintty, shells, and programs run under it continue to work as expected.
