I have to admit I didn't know about that. 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.

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.
