    Ctrl+C does not stop script in Console?

    Post by dveenstra »

    Product, version and build: PowerShell Studio 2016 5.4.143
    32 or 64 bit version of product: 64 bits
    Operating system: Windows 7
    32 or 64 bit OS: 64 bits
    PowerShell Version: 4.0

    When script is running in Console, sometimes I wanted to stop it from running. But Ctrl+C won't work?

    I know you can right click on Mouse and choose Cancel Execution, but sometimes you wanted interaction to happen a bit faster than that.

    The ribbon prevents the Ctrl + C message from reaching the console process and triggers the copy command. That is why we included the context menu command, but we revisit it and see what we can do.

    Thanks, currently when I tried to right click and choose 'Cancel Execution', the script won't stop at all.

    Try using [Ctrl + Break] instead and see if that works for you.

    I have a mini keyboard, and there's no break button :oops:

    Is there a way I can customize a key?

    As far as I know you cannot configure just another key to act as Ctrl+Break in Windows.
    We will investigate what can be done.
