Steps to reproduce

steps to reproduce. create a simple java program a dummy program for testing

public static void main(String[] args)
{
   while(true);
}

run

wt new-tab java -jar myprogram.jar

hit control+c

notice the app is dead. the user was simply trying to copy and paste previous output and the program died. right clicking to copy something in wt isn't possible and most people are use to using control+c for copy as it is everywhere else in windows.

Expected Behavior

app stays alive and text is copied to the clipboard

Actual Behavior

app dies

Solution

use a different keybind to close the process like control+fn+c or control+alt+c
