Ctrl+C should clear the text box first, then stop Claude

Right now if Claude is running and I have text in my chat box, pressing Ctrl+C stops Claude, and pressing it again erases the text in the box. I think this is backwards. Claude running is more sensitive than the text in the box, so it's a lot more infuriating to accidentally stop Claude mid-run than it is to lose whatever I was typing. It should first delete the text, and then a second Ctrl+C (or hitting it with an empty box) stops Claude from running.
