# When user presses Ctrl-C, IRB would raise `IRB::Abort`
# But since Pager is implemented by running paging commands like `less` in another process with `IO.popen`,
# the `IRB::Abort` exception only interrupts IRB's execution but doesn't affect the pager
# So to properly terminate the pager with Ctrl-C, we need to catch `IRB::Abort` and kill the pager process
