Ctrl+C exits the app instead of clearing the current input #13

Description

@screenfluent

In other terminal coding apps, pressing Ctrl+C once usually clears the current prompt you are typing.

In kit, pressing Ctrl+C exits the application instead. I hit this by accident and closed the app when I only wanted to clear the current input.

This feels like a poor default because it removes a very useful shortcut for clearing the whole draft message at once, and it is easy to trigger accidentally.

Other apps like claude, codex, and pi handle this more safely.

Expected behavior:

  • Pressing Ctrl+C once should clear the current input
  • Exiting the app should require a different action, or at least a second Ctrl+C or confirmation

Actual behavior:

  • Pressing Ctrl+C immediately exits the app

Environment:

  • macOS 15.6.1

  • Apple Silicon

  • kit installed with:

    go install github.com/mark3labs/kit/cmd/kit@latest
