Description
While running poetry install or poetry sync on macOS, ctrl + c will only cancel the installation of the current package being installed. This can be an issue for projects with a longer list of packages if you want to cancel the entire installation.
Won't assume but I would personally prefer to cancel the entire installation process vs stopping (skipping?) a single installation by inputting ctrl + c at the right time. Instead expecting skipping of a single(s) installation using the grouping and the --only or --with functionality.
Noting that this issue existed in poetry's old repo but was listed for windows, so this might not be platform specific.
platform: macOS sequoia 15.7.4
poetry ver: 2.3.3
python ver: have experienced this against 3.10.13 and 3.12.13)

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior by running poetry install and poetry sync on macOS, then trace the install and sync command entry points to find how Ctrl+C is handled during package installation. Done means Ctrl+C cancels the entire installation or synchronization process rather than only the current package, with coverage for both commands.
