New issue with ^C

[Jim Cook]

I'm testing both the Ctrl-Break that terminated my TCMD session, and
the missing Ctrl-C others have reported.

TCC 10.00.64 Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
TCC Build 64 Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 3
Take Command v10.00.64

Given this program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
int chr;

while ( (chr = getch()) != 'Q' )
{
printf("%02X\n", chr);
}

return 0;
}


When running in a TCC stand alone window, and pressing Ctrl-A to
Ctrl-D then Ctrl-Break, I get this output:
D:\>test
01
02
03
04
05
^C
D:\>

When running in TCMD, however, I get this. Note the missing 03 when
Ctrl-C is pressed:
D:\>test
01
02
04
05
^C
D:\>

I am pleased that I have not had a Ctrl-Break that terminated TCMD
(yet), but need the Ctrl-C to return 03 when pressed.

Using TCC 10.00.64 inside TCMD 10.00.60 works ok, whereas TCMD
10.00.61 stops working. Version 61 said "Fixed a (Windows) bug with
repeated ^Breaks sometimes terminating TCMD.EXE"

I _really_ hope that the Ctrl-Break fix to avoid terminating the TCMD
session does not require losing the Ctrl-C keystroke.

I trust that in your test you made sure to use the left or right "Ctrl" key
that in your TCMD options is set NOT to be intercepted by TCMD but passed on
to the currently active console tab.

Yes, which is why the Ctrl-A reports 01. I have the left Ctrl key
reserved for TCMD, but the right Ctrl key should be (and is, by
testing) passed on.

I just double checked, and TCMD Options \ Configure Take Command \
Tabs has both the Left Alt and Ctrl checked, and both the Right Alt
and Ctrl unchecked.

Assuming you meant Ctrl-A to Ctrl-E, I get the same results you did.
The only surprise to me was that Ctrl-@ resulted in two numbers rather
than one: 00 and 03 (both stand-alone and tabbed).

I did mean Ctrl-E and not Ctrl-D. Thanks for the catch.
Ctrl-@ can't return only 00 since an initial 00 is the lead-in for F1,
Keypad Insert, and others.
