I think the downvotes may be that you're posing a rhetorical question based on a sample size of one. As opposed to spending 15 more seconds to try a few more things and saying "I tried 10 commands, nothing worked" or "I tried 10 commands, works great, but Ctrl+C is broken on Windows and that really needs to be fixed"

My experience with the Zeit team is that they're very responsive and interactive via GitHub - I'd be surprised if the issue isn't fixed soon

Did you miss the part about the next four things I tried also being broken along with the github links in which I filed the bug reports?
"I literally have not tried a single other thing"

And without clicking through to all four links, there's no indication that they were from you trying things.

So you completely didn't read the part that begins "I gave it another try.." before downvoting? (Yes, it's an edit, but also, yes, it was made less than 5 minutes after my initial post and a good while before you replied and before the downvote brigade hit.)

Anyway, I put my money where my mouth is and I reported each issue that I encountered with hyper on Github (the links are above) before giving up on it (for now). I'm not a bandwagon hater nor a bandwagon fan, at the moment, hyper is not ready for use or worth the hype. In a month, it may be. I'll revisit it periodically in order to re-evaluate my findings in the interest of using the best tool for the job. All these years later, putty remains the most compatible, but I can't figure out how to use it locally on Ubuntu/bash for Windows (if I can get an ssh server working, I could just start a loopback session and use that). For now, I'm using cmd.exe and conemu.
