Thanks for the report. This is a known problem, however, it is hard to fix soon. In current console implementation, ctrl-Z is processed in read() system call. So, if process does not call read(), ctlr-Z does not work. You can confirm that ctrl-Z works for cat, od, etc. which calls read(). One solution might be to introduce a thread to handle the keystrokes. I wonder if it is worth enough to introduce such a big modification for console code. -- Takashi Yano <takashi.y...@nifty.ne.jp> -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
