Make Ctrl+C=copy and Ctrl+Shift+C=interrupt in VSC

Question

I'd like to have Ctrl+C copy and Ctrl+Shift+C send Ctrl+C (interrupt).

I figured out the first half

{
    "key": "ctrl+c",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.copySelection",
    "when": "terminalFocus"
}

But how do I do the second half? Is there a command to send an arbitrary key press to the terminal?

Answer 1

With Visual Studio Code 1.28.0 there is a command, workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence, to send arbitrary keypresses to the terminal. See Send text from a keybinding to the terminal.

  {
    "key": "ctrl+shift+c",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
    "args": {
      "text": "\u0003"
    },
    "when": "terminalFocus"
  }
