   @tadpole @b0rk Yes, when a tty in cooked mode receives the byte configured as the intr character, the kernel tty layer delivers SIGINT to the foreground process group with that as its controlling tty.

     @b0rk I'm really curious about the details now. I'd guess there's a control character for it, and it would even work over the serial bus, so the OS/terminal driver converts it to a signal? And all other parts have to play along for it to be forwarded/handled accordingly?
