Having just tested it in bash and yafc, it does seem to do what I usually use Ctrl-C for, so I should probably get used to doing that. ctrl-D should only be exit on a blank line, methinks, as it is equivalent to end-of-file. Fair enough. Yafc uses readline, so is it also possible that you can setup the bindings you want by using .inputrc? If so maybe you can close this bug. Thanks. Fair point - didn't know that. Sounds like my 'wrong' behaviour would be configurable anyway if I wanted, although I'll try and get used to the right keybindings! Thanks for your help. I think you can close this bug.

Bug#342693: yafc: Ctrl-C behaviour is annoying
Package: yafc Version: 1.1-4 Severity: normal In bash, and most shells, Ctrl-C seems to kill the current line and open a new prompt. However, in yafc, pressing Ctrl-C also disconnects from the server one is connected to. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but personally I find this very irritating and I am frequently disconnecting accidentally. I would have thought Ctrl-D is a more appropriate keymap, since this normally exits a shell. However, I appreciate that this may be design, so perhaps this bug is arguably wishlist. Thanks for your work on yafc.
