For ^C it may have been a side-effect of the SIGINT changes, though I doubt it. One of the first things psql does is setup a ^C handler and it only ever did a siglongjmp in that case. But there was no setjmp done at that point, so a ^C would have been a no-op. psql uses simple_prompt which I beleive comes from the port directory. And there is definitly a loop there to retry on no input. That hasn't changed any time recently as far as I can tell.
