Description Adam Spiers 2007-10-16 12:53:36 UTC 
If I want to interrupt an operation from within the zypper shell, such as a search which has gone AWOL (see bug #333994), Control-C should ideally return me to the zypper> prompt.  Instead it kills the process and returns me to my normal zsh prompt.  This is bad because it forces the user to re-read the repository caches upon the next zypper operation which needs them.  This could be especially slow with aggressive autorefresh settings.

Adam, the fate of zypper's shell is currently unknown, since it requires a lot of work, and is not so needed since he speedup of the zypp tools in 11.0. Closing as WONTFIX, but patches are still welcome, if someone wants to hack the shell.
