ctrl-c and ctrl-\ do not work

[dmt4]

Hi

Trying to move to rio on linux, noticed it does not seem to handle ctrl-c and ctrl-\ properly.

ctrl-c just prints ^C but does not seem to send sigint to the current application. Similarly ctrl-\ prints ^\ but no signal sent.

ctrl-z seems to work as one would expect.

Is there some configuration option I should try? I tried with empty config, there was no change.

Version 0.2.16-1 from up to date archlinux.

Hey there,

Weird, do you have any configuration? I tried on my linux with sucess. Also which distro and shell are you using?

Hi, thanks for responding!

Using bash on archlinux, this is their package:

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/rio/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD

moved away my config to rule it out.

Just now went a step further and tried it on a newly made account... and it worked well so I should do a bit of investigating myself I guess, maybe there is something in the environment.

a-ha! ok that's interesting! so it works in other account but not in one account?

Ok, it was partially my doing but I think there is still something to look into. The issue occurs if rio is launched from a script which then exits, here is a minimal example:

#!/bin/bash
rio &

rio then does not handle ctrl-c and ctrl-\ properly. I tried with other terminals (alacritty, konsole) just now and they work in that scenario.

If you wonder why would I bother launching from a script, it is to try to emulate the behaviour of yakuake as much as I can and wrote a small script to do it.

ahh good catch, that make sense. I will try to reproduce locally tomorrow

A small update, if I do exec rio instead of rio & in the above things seems to work as expected.

In case anyone else runs into this, it may be a viable workaround.
