Ctrl-C in a unix command prompt is meant to stop the running program. It would be annoying if it didn't. It is unfortunate that Ctrl-C also is one of the most common gui shortcuts, but tortoisehg is not the place to get a revolution of this started. A simple solution is to run it in the background by appending "&" when you launch hgtk. You can also change the default be setting "nofork = False" in the util/config.py generated by setup.py. (I found it annoying when hgtk sometimes forked a GUI application and sometimes returned console output, especially on unix where the shell has a simple way to run in the background and few (but, admitted, some) applications forks a gui process. Thus I pushed for making it configurable - and default to nofork on unix.) Besides that, it could be nice if tortoisehg regularly saved backups of commit messages while they were being written. /Mads ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list Tortoisehg-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
