There are many times when hitting Esc once or twice (however many times doesn't work at all). It doesn't interrupt the flow.

And this is made much worse since you can't actually submit additional commands for it to run afterwards because you get the error that the session is busy.

This combined with the other issue I submitted about not being able to copy text from above is kind of making this thing less usable than Claude Code.

    Could a first pass of Ctrl C function as how Esc is supposed to work, if the agent is going off some tangent, or if a script is also running, as in #2124 ?

    Could you maybe make an explicit keybinding binding for abort? -- I suspect double Escs being swallowed by WSL as some other gesture.
