Linux. MySQL command-line client. Set '--sigint-ignore' option forever

Question

I think Ctrl+C is required sometimes but I can't remember I needed it. Sometimes I'm trying to copy output text by pressing that "hotkey" automatically and losing db connection instead. It is very annoying and I would like to disable SIGINT sending forever. Can this be done?

Just add in /etc/mysql/my.cnf (or wherever your my.cnf is):

[mysql]
sigint-ignore

Add it to an existing [mysql] section if you already have one...
