| Its safer in an unfamiliar terminal than accidentally killing the app with Ctrl-c. |

| Always a take which sprouts vehement arguments, but this is something macOS gets extremely right, as Cmd-C, Cmd-V, etc. indeed work everywhere including the terminal, and Ctrl-C in the terminal is reliably SIGINT. |

| I also criss cross enough different terminals and systems that I never know if it is Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Shift-C. Same with paste. |
