Control-C not working?

Control-C not working?

[Paul Sterk]

Hi,

I am a cygwin newbie.  I installed it this past August.  The version on 
the installer is '2.573.2.2'.  My problem is the Control-C does not kill 
a running process.  Why is that?  Is there a way to enable this?

Thanks,
Paul

btw - I searched the archives on this, but did not find a solution.

  That's the version of the installer; unless reporting a bug in the installer,
it's not useful, as it doesn't tell you anything about the version of cygwin
that the installer installed for you, which is independent.

  Maybe your ctrl key is broken?

  There isn't any switch or flag; ctrl-c is just meant to work - and indeed
does, at least for me.  What shell and terminal are you using?


    cheers,
