Potential issue reading passwords in Windows - this stops CTRL-C from working?

[mikera]

Hi, thanks for all the great work on picocli, using it with great success!

One thing that appears to be an issue (but perhaps my ignorance?) is when trying to get a user to input a password:

Console c = System.console();
char[] pass= c.readPassword("Password prompt");

This works fine, but subsequently CTRL-C no longer seems to work to terminate the picocli CLI process (Windows with Powershell 7.4.5). Without doing any such prompt CTRL-C terminates the process as expected.

Hi @mikera apologies for the late reply.
Unfortunately I don't see anything that the picocli library can do to help with this.
This seems to be an interaction between Powershell and the Java Console::readPassword API.
Perhaps it is better to file this issue with Oracle or Microsoft.
