How do you terminate a run in SBT without exiting?
I'm trying CTRL+C but it exits SBT. Is there a way to only exit the running application while keeping SBT open?

If you are using Visual Studio and you are starting the console application out of the IDE:
pressing CTRL-F5 (start without debugging) will start the application and keep the console window open until you press any key.
There's a very convenient -jvm-debug flag in the official SBT packages for Mac, Linux & Windows. You can use the flag to specify the debug port:
sbt -jvm-debug 5005
Under the covers, this starts the JVM for SBT with the typical verbose debugging incantation:
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005
You now can run your code as normal, for example with the sbt run command.
Configuring IntelliJ to connect to the running code...
Now you connect IntelliJ to your running process using a Remote Debug configuration. Note that the upper 3 fields in this form, while scary, are just for you to copy text out of, rather than into (they're giving the verbose debugging incantation specified above, which -jvm-debug already takes care of for you) - the only configuration you can change is in theSettings section halfway down:

From sbt version 0.13.5 you can add to your build.sbt
It is defined as "Enables (true) or disables (false) the ability to interrupt task execution with CTRL+C." in the Keys definition
If you are using Scala 2.12.7+ you can also cancel the compilation with CTRL+C. Reference https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/6479
