nbdime does not exit with Ctrl-C on Windows

[Denis Akhiyarov]

Any reason why nbdime cannot exit with Ctrl-C if launched in interactive web mode? I have to kill the nbdime server from another command-line session:

C:\Windows\system32>taskkill /f /im nbdime*

SUCCESS: The process "nbdime.exe" with PID 5844 has been terminated.

The tornado server on Windows has some issues with Ctrl+C not being
processed until the next time it gets a request. I see that the
notebook server handles this by periodically running a callback. I'll
try to put something similar into the next patch release (hopefully
this week).

As a temporary workaround, you can kill it with Ctrl + Pause/Break (if
you have that button on your keyboard).

Perhaps because CTRL/C means Copy in Windows?
