## Ctrl C Workaround

There is currently an issue with `ctrl+c` not stopping a running process in the integrated terminal. We have filed an issue upstream and are tracking [here](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/114009). As a temporary workaround, it works if you manually define the shortcut like so:

1. Open Command Palette
2. Look for "Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)"
3. Add this:

```json
{
"key": "ctrl+c",
"command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
"args": {
"text": "\u0003"
},
"when": "terminalFocus"
}
```
