Prevent "^C" from being printed when aborting editing current prompt
- by blueyed
When you're editing a prompt in bash, and then press Ctrl-C to abort it, "^C" might get printed where the cursor has been.
When you were in the middle of the line, this makes copy'n'pasting more difficult and IIRC it can be configured to not display it (and overwrite parts of the command line).
I do not have this problem myself (using zsh, which does not print "^C"), but ran across this in a Konsole bug report.
