You are pressing ^C in the shell, not nedit. That tells the shell to kill
nedit. It's doing what you told it to.
vi and emacs are text mode applications, so it takes over your terminal -
the shell is in the background and not running.
All other Unix GUI apps like firefox and openoffice shut down when you
fire SIGINT (it with a ^C at the shell), as it's supposed to.

It's fairly trivial to add a signal handler to nedit.c (at least on some
platforms) for SIGINT to run the CloseAllFilesAndWindows() routine so you
can choose to save everything.
nc might need one too so that "nc -wait" can do some level of error
recovery.

You should really give the NEdit server mode a try: instead of starting
NEdit via the "nedit" command, you should use the NEdit client, which is
usually called "ncl" or "nc", depending on your distribution.
When started in this way, NEdit can't be killed by Ctrl-C in your terminal
window any more. Using the server mode has several other advantages (shared
search history, shared preferences, remote control possibilities, ...).
Check out Help>Client/Server Mode.

Hi,
Ctrl+C is bound to Copy, so NEdit must not killed by this key.
You use "old" Nedit-5.5 code with "modern" Motif 2.2.
Please, try to compile NEdit 5.6 available at
http://www.nedit.org/ftp/snapshot/nedit-latest-sources-HEAD.tar.gz
Though this code is stable, it is not released yet.
NEdit is really frozen now.

1) Sometime I killed my nedit window accidently by pressing ^C, so I
started to think if nedit couldn't be killed by ^C it would be better...
2) Because vi and xemacs can't be killed by ^C, I think there must be some
good reasons to design them into this way...

I think most users of NEdit use it in server mode and the NEdit client to
communicate with the server. So the use of Ctrl+C is mostly useless,
because the client releases the shell after communicating with the server.
BTW: could you give a better rational as "It would be better" or "I like
this", thanks. I really can't see a reason why this could be good.

Sorry!
I meant if would be better if nedit can't be killed by ctrl+C. I tried
with xemacs, and the window can't be killed by ctrl+C -- I like this but I
don't know if it is easy to implement for nedit.
Thank you.

"nedit can't be killed by ctrl+C"
"nedit can be killed by ctrl+C, while 'xemacs' can't."
Isn't there something wrong with these two statements?
