In mutt, when I use the key combination Ctrl+C, I want it to behave as if I had pressed Ctrl+G. I understand that simple bind, such as the following, will not work:

bind    index   \Cc             <abort>

but there must be some way how to do it (perhaps some macro?).

My question is similar to this question, but the accepted answer is not acceptable for me. I need some way how to solve this problem in mutt (and not in the terminal).

Not only do you have the problems mentioned in the linked question, but the kernel also intercepts the control c and directs it as a signal. So you would need to modify the signal handler, or use stty to change your break character.

    I did not mean to intercept CTRL-c. I thought, perhaps I could configure mutt what to do when it receives CTRL-c (I want it to behave as if it had received CTRL-g) – Martin Vegter Nov 30 '13 at 08:19
