CTRL-C on a line when something isn't selected should send a break

CTRL-C on a line when something isn't selected should send a break (that is, cancel the command and go to a clear line) instead of outputting ^c.

Copied from original issue: ZoeyR/WhackWhackTerminal#15

It should currently be doing that. Can you give some more context into what you mean?

Go into cmd.exe, type test, then ctrl-c. The command is cancelled and you get a new prompt. In WhackWhack you either get a "^C" output OR nothing happens.

test isn't recognized as a command for me. Is it a program you installed?

Here's the upstream issue microsoft/node-pty#7 for this. This is one of the problems that is very difficult because of the nature of the backing library winpty.

You can however press esc to reliably clear the line in cmd and powershell.

Thanks @Tyriar.

@dgriffen It's not a exe, it's just text...try it in cmd.exe. Type some stuff and hit ctrl+C. It's different behavior from ESC as @Tyriar suggests.

Fixed as of #79
