repl: disable Ctrl+C support on win32 for now #7977
Conversation
Disable Windows support for interrupting REPL commands using Ctrl+C by default, because the switches from console raw mode and back have been interfering with printing the results of evaluated expressions. This is a temporary measure, since the underlying problem is very likely not related to this specific feature. Ref: nodejs#7837

LGTM, thanks for the env var! |
|
oh! mentioning the env var reminded me... is the intent to keep the env var undocumented and temporary as well? If not, then this should also add documentation to printHelp and docs. |
|
@jasnell No, keeping it uncodumented is exactly the plan (or at least what I am having in mind). I thought about getting fancy with underscores or something, but that just seemed weird for env vars. |
|
+1 awesome. That's what I suspected but wanted to clarify. It may be worthwhile adding a code comment to that effect in case someone else comes across it and wonders. |
|
@jasnell Done! :) |
|
Thank you! :-) |
