Bug Description
ctrl+c is a reserved keyword to clear all text in the terminal. however, claude code cli uses ctrl+c to stop all agents. this creates a lot of confusion when i'm trying to edit a long prompt in the terminal while background agents are going on because it's too easy to accidentally kill all the subagents when i'm just trying to clear the terminal text. this is a really obvious overlap that could easily be fixed by having claude code use a different combination of characters to kill all background agents
