ConEmu:Send SIGINT to running application

as Ctrl+C copies the current selection rather than killing the current application in ConEmu, I wonder how to do the latter now. I know that there is Ctrl+Alt+Break (Terminate (kill) active process in the current console: Close(1)), but does this behave the same as pressing Ctrl+C in a plain old cmd.exe window? AFAIK Ctrl+C usually sends SIGINT (or whatever windows has instead) prior to killing the window so that the application can exit voluntarily.

Thanks!

The above answer from Henning is right, with Break(1) sends CTRL+BREAK instead of CTRL+C. More observation from me:

1] Tried with the following:

Ran: ping -t localhost Break(1) will be received by ping and it stays running. Break(0) will stop the ping.

Per doc: https://conemu.github.io/en/GuiMacro.html // ConEmu | GuiMacro - Syntax, Functions, Examples

Break([[,]])

  • Event==0: Generates a CTRL+C signal
  • Event==1: Generates a CTRL+BREAK signal

With CTRL+C, the running app is killed unconditionally. With CTRL+BREAK, the running app can choose to exit voluntarily or keep running.

2] Close(1) will prompt to show the process ID (i.e. pid), and wait for your confirmation. If you don’t want the confirmation, you can assign a Macro with “Close(1,1)” and assign a hotkey.

The solution is to assign the hotkey Ctrl+C to an arbitrary macro (01-32) that is configured to run "Break(1)": screenshot

The existing binding of Ctrl+C to the "Copy" command must be removed.
