Hi Elias,
I have changed the max. interval from 500ms to 1 second. SVN 415.
I believe changing to single ^C via configuration would be more confusing
than helpful because the behavior under emacs (i.e. INTERRUPT =
ATTENTION) would deviate
from the behavior outside emacs (INTERRUPT ≠ ATTENTION).

Control-C is a general prefix character in Emacs. In other words, you
press C-c followed by another keypress to execute a given function.
C-c C-c (i.e. Control-C twice) is defined to send a single control-c
to an underlying process (it's part of the framework that manages
external programs, of which apl is one).
Of course, nothing prevents me from adding other keypresses that are
mapped to, say, sending a double C-c to the underlying process, but it
wouldn't really mesh very well with how embedded programs usually works.
That said, it's possible to send four C-c's in half a second. All I
have to do is to hold C-c for a while and let the operating system's
key repeat do its job. So, in a worst case scenario I just won't
change anything at all. ☺

Hi Elias,
mapping two ^C to one is maybe not so good an idea.
IBM APL2 distinguishes between interrupt and attention and they have
different keys for that. interrupt interrupts execution
immediately while
attention interrupts execution at the end of the statement.
Currently GNU APL is behaving slightly differently, but the plan
is to align that long term.
Instead of two keys for interrupt and attention I found it more
convenient to have single ^C for attention
and double ^C for interrupt.
This is also why two ^C are needed to abort the display of results.
If you eat single ^C in emacs then this would prevent attention
from being signaled.
I would propose instead that every ^C is simply passed on to GNU APL.

Do you think there is a way to configure that? Perhaps disable
the double-thing when in Emacs mode? The reason is that in Emacs
mode you already have to press C-c twice to send a sinvlde C-c to
the underlying process. That means that in order to interrupt
right now I need to press it 4 times within 500 ms, which is very
difficult.

Elias

Hi Blake,
good. The double ^C is on purpose to avoid accidentally
hitting ^C.
Its actually two ^C within 500 ms.
