Ctrl +c logs me out
I had posted about this before, here is video.
This really feels frustrating as you know we computer users just cant stop ctrl+c. If the issue persists maybe i will switch os

Ctrl+C crashes your entire COSMIC session back to login screen — here's what's happening and the workaround
Been debugging a frustrating issue on Pop!_OS 24.04 with COSMIC for a while now and finally have a clear picture of what's going on. Sharing here because the GitHub issue (#2026) is buried and most people just think their system is broken. What happens: You press Ctrl+C (or Ctrl+Shift+C) anywhere — terminal, browser, desktop, doesn't matter — and your entire session dies. All apps close, you're dumped back to the login screen. Looks like a suspend or logout but it's actually the Wayland compositor (cosmic-comp) crashing.
Temporary fix (works until next reboot):
pkill -9 cosmic-comp
