Um...

Why isn't the host OS for SwiftForth sending a signal to the main
Forth app upon receiving a Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Break, etc?

Shouldn't the host OS be doing so? ...

SwiftForth should only be getting keyboard input after it has
been processed by the host OS.  SwiftForth shouldn't be reading
the hardware directly.

I.e., offhand, I would guess that SwiftForth is ignoring
or blocking something.
