cygwin + console2 ctrl-c keyboard interrupt not working

I'm using console2 as my shell for cygwin and control-C is not working.

I have made sure that control-C is not being used as a hotkey in my console2 settings.

This is how I run cygwin from console2 D:\Programs\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -i

To check for yourself, do ping google.com -t and try to interrupt it with control C.

Here is my console2 console.xml file, http://pastebin.com/mZ3yHe6D

Solution

  • This was a bug in cygwin, it should be fixed in the upcoming cygwin release (1.7.17), see here

    Update: 1.7.17 was released on Oct 20, 2012. The problem is indeed fixed now.
