I have tried several times to test the interactive option for this tool, and very often I want to abort the process and so I press Ctrl-C to send a signal to quit the ongoing operation. This is not respected by the tool, which for some reason has chosen to interpret this as a YES to the current question. This is a highly unconventional choice :smile:

I would like to signal listener to interpret Ctrl-C as a signal to do process.exit(1) or at least give the user a prompt to quit.

I tend to agree. npm-check-updates uses the package prompts which does seem to support detection of Ctrl + C.

There are various ways of achieving this, though one might need to resort to hacks like this for some cases: https://github.com/terkelg/prompts/issues/252#issue-559780869 (actively avoids printing a "Y").
