describe the problem

Description of the issue

1. I typed Archinstall.
2. zsh: correct 'Archinstall' to 'archinstall' [nyae]?
3. I typed y
4. Then I hit ^C
5. archinstall crashed ...

Some more information is needed to debug this properly, KeyboardInterrupt indicates that you pressed ctrl+c potentially?

[JassonCordones]

yeah, that's why I meant in step 4

[svartkanin]

Then I don't understand the problem. What did you expect?

[JassonCordones]

If it was expected, then a more graceful exit of the script. A traceback that tells you to report a crash while trying to stop a program is bad ux.
