[GRASS-user] CTRL-C behaviour

Hi,

I've noticed that the my current check out from the VCS now binds
CTRL-C to quitting the shell.

Is there anyway to disable this? It's highly frustrating when I type
CTRL-C to end a process, but sometimes the process ends before I push
the keys - leading to an inadvertent session end and me having to set
up my work space again.

CTRL-d is the usual key combo for a shell logout, which works just fine.

Cheers,
Joel

I've also noticed that I use CTRL-C to abort a command line and give
me a clean one (yet still leave what I typed previously on the
screen).

For a system that has it's roots in the command line, I feel this
change has had a significant impact on usability.

Maybe it's the same I described in my post "Access mapsets out of grass
(small problem when launching a grass session)" [1]?

I use very frequently Ctrl+C to just get a new line.

Yep, that looks like the same issue I'm having.. I'm guessing the
Grass init script is registering itself for the SIGINT signal. I could
investigate/fix this but as it seems to be a recent change, I wanted
to check if it was intentional or not.
