Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version

Issue

Nobody likes the "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?" prompt Windows gives you when you ctrl+c some processes (a lot of Nodejs cli tools do this) and I've grown used to just pressing ctrl+c twice: first to bring up the prompt to stop the process, a second time to "answer" the prompt and get back to the regular command prompt. Currently only the first ctrl+c works. Once the "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?" prompt is up any more presses of ctrl+c are ignored.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in vanilla Hyper.app 1.3.1 on Windows 10 x64 with a process that shows the “Terminate batch job (Y/N)?” prompt. Verify that the first Ctrl+C opens the prompt and the second Ctrl+C returns to the command prompt; completion means the second press is handled instead of ignored.
