Ctrl-C in cabal repl shouldn't exit the repl (just like GHCi)

[adimit]

When running ghci I can use Ctrl-C to interrupt actions that have obviously gone AWOL, or cancel a long running computation without entirely exiting GHCi itself.

This does not work if GHCi was started via cabal repl. If cabal repl were to trap SIGINT and pass it on to GHCi, which would do the right thing with it, that would make my life a lot easier.

Alternatively, a different way to cancel a computation without (expensively) exiting the repl should be provided.

(Sorry, I clicked this twice, on accident. Please delete the other #1609, if possible.)

Looks like a duplicate of #1560.

[adimit]

Yeah, that's true! I didn't find it!

[23Skidoo]

Also: #1535.

Though, it seems that this should've been fixed long ago, but I still experience the issue…

Which version are you running?

[adimit]

Recent hackage version: 1.18.0.2 of cabal-install, 1.18.0 of Cabal

[23Skidoo]

@adimit Try with a newer version of Cabal.

That did the trick (I had to reinstall both Cabal and cabal-install.) Thank you very much, @23Skidoo for your help!
