Description Mohammed Sadiq 2016-09-27 08:31:06 UTC 
If the interpreter is stuck on some command, Ctrl+c should first exit from that command rather than exiting the interpreter and returning to system shell.

How to reproduce:

sadiq@localhost:~$ gjs
gjs> print (
.... ^C
sadiq@localhost:~$

Yes, I would certainly accept a patch for this! For me it's fairly low priority right now, otherwise I might get around to it after we are based on the latest version of SpiderMonkey. I was planning to see if there were any improvements that could be pulled in from their interpreter.
