SIGINT from Ctrl-C ignored

[jefflund]

Suppose I was silly and ran the following program:

package main

import (
        "github.com/nsf/termbox-go"
)

func main() {
        termbox.Init()
        defer termbox.Close()

        for {
                e := termbox.PollEvent()
                termbox.SetCell(0, 0, e.Ch, termbox.ColorDefault, termbox.ColorDefault)
                termbox.Flush()
        }
}

While it does the intended thing of displaying the last key press, I accidentally wrote an infinite loop. Normally, I would just press ctrl-c to send a SIGINT, and the program would use the default signal handler and just quietly terminate. However, with termbox, instead the ctrl-c is not seen as a SIGINT. Instead, the ctrl-c will show up as an event from PollEvent. Obviously I'm being cheeky with this example, but in general, is there a way to tell termbox to respect the default signal handlers for things like SIGINT from ctrl-c or SIGTSTP from ctrl-z?

It doesn't ignore SIGINT, it disables binding of Ctrl-C to SIGINT. You can still kill the app with a "kill" command or any other way you can send a SIGINT signal to it. I'm afraid it's impossible to get Ctrl-C binding back as termbox uses raw terminal input mode.

Applications like emacs could use this feature, I mean C-c is an ordinary key combo in emacs. So even if it's possible to enable C-c sending SIGINT alone, I wouldn't do it.

Thanks for the clarification!
