Ctrl+C Exit Behavior

Overview

Ctrl+C operates on two levels:

1. Menus/Selectors: Immediate cancellation and return to previous state
2. Main Application: Two-stage exit requiring double Ctrl+C within 1 second

Two-Stage Exit (Main Application)

First Ctrl+C

• Shows temporary status message "ctrl+c to exit" in bottom-left status bar
• Message automatically disappears after 1 second
• Clears any text in the input field (if focused)
• Does not exit the application

Second Ctrl+C (within 1 second)

• Exits the application immediately
• Performs graceful shutdown

Second Ctrl+C (after 1 second)

• Treated as a new "first Ctrl+C"
• Shows exit message again
• User must press Ctrl+C twice within 1 second window to actually exit

Menu/Selector Cancellation

Ctrl+C immediately cancels and returns to the previous state in all interactive menus and selectors.
