Description of the new feature

When a process outputs a lot of output, Ctrl+C doesn't stop it from printing until everything is printed, which in some cases (e.g. when running processes through ssh) can be a lot. It would be good to add an option for Ctrl+C to drop anything buffered so far in addition to sending Ctrl+C to the running process.

Proposed technical implementation details
