I would like to send a interrupt signal with keyboard (ctrl+c) to a program that is running inside the Run toolview. At the moment nothing happens. Is this possible?

Hi!

The toolview does not support this, but you could send SIGINT from elsewhere:
pkill -SIGINT <program name>
This does the same as pressing Ctrl+C.

You can also stop a program with the "Stop" button, but this will send SIGKILL instead.
