We could do that Nicholas, but it wouldn't solve the problem.
these users do not read any documentation, they just try to do what
they are used to in the command line version (gdb -nw).
As soon as <Ctrl-C> as they notice that does not work hey immediately file a problem
report, call support, send e-mail, keep arguing that they prefer this.
Maybe I could do this binding anyway, so at least I have something for them
when they call.
Or maybe add the <Cntl-C> preference. Turned off by default, but if the user
so desires, he/she can change it.
I am sort of flip-flopping on this issue, isn't it? I guess I must sleep over it
and think about what you guys said and come up with something that makes sense.
