Console: git-for-windows tools don't handle CTRL + C and terminate
Hello,
I have Windows10 Pro x64, the CTRL + C now close the current tab (and the application if only 1 tab) instead of stopping the process in the tab...very anoying !
I've tried to reassign the keys but nothing changes...
Maybe the CTRL + C interrupt is a bit different in Windows 10 ?
Thank you for your help !

The behavior is not related to Windows 10.
bin/bash.exe is only an application which launches usr/bin/bash
when you press CTRL-C,
- usr/bin/bash.exe processes the CTRL-C event (stop the current command, etc ...) and calls the next handler function (parent process)
- bin/bash.exe doesn't set a handler function for CTRL-C event, the default handler terminates the process
- ansicon.exe detects the termination of the process bin/bash.exe
- ConsoleZ detects the termination of the process ansicon.exe

I was able to get all my node processes to die directly from the Git Bash shell on Windows 10 by typing taskkill -F -IM node.exe - this ends all the node processes on my computer at once. I found I could also use taskkill //F //IM node.exe. Not sure why both - and // work in this context. Hope this helps!

This was very helpful. I've been needing to kill long-running java tasks that were forked under Ant that aren't killed by Ctrl-C, and now that I've added this to my Git aliases I can do it with git kj:
# kill java tasks
kj = !sh -c 'taskkill -F -IM java.exe'

Tembrel you rock man.. this was sooo annoying.. at least there is your workaround.

Thanks. Unfortunately you've probably noticed that this kills __all__ Java processes, not just the ones you might think you're targeting. Still, better than nothing.
Tembrel
on 11 Oct 2019
Yup you are right. it can kill other java processes but better than nothing. Especially because when I would try killing the java processes from the Task Manager it would give me Access Denied! Arrg! so this is certainly a cleaner/reliable way to kill the java processes (like the surefire java sub process forked from maven) when running them under mingw64.
bgrov03
on 11 Oct 2019
What I've taken to doing in this situation is use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer to kill of the process via the process explorer (like task manager with super powers). You can pretty easily identify the specific Java process you are after.

Why doesn't gitbash accept ctrl+c and crtl+v for copy pasting?

Press Ctrl+Alt+Enter
Worked for me.

Press Shift + q
Worked for me

Please Note: I had my doubts that the following would not work. For the sake of others I tried the approaches anyway just to prove it.
htabrizi - pressing CTRL+Alt+Enter just switches back and forth to full screen mode on Git Bash for me.. it doesnt terminate a parent - child multi java process.
imsantosh100- pressing Shift + q just enters upper case Q on the Git Bash screen it would kill the process. Maybe you added special config in Git Bash to override key short cut keys to make Shift + q do something that doesnt come out of the box?
