When running in the Rails Console, the only way to abort the program and return to the Rails Console is with Ctrl-C while the program is running. In older versions of byebug (e.g. with Ruby 2.0/Rails 3.2), Ctrl-C at the byebug prompt would do this, but with newer versions (Ruby 2.4/Rails 5.1) this no longer works.
Expected behavior
At the byebug prompt (e.g. "(byebug)"), I would expect Ctrl-C to drop me back to the Rails Console.
Actual behavior
At the byebug prompt (e.g. "(byebug)"), when I hit Ctrl-C I just got another "(byebug)" prompt.
Load the Rails console with a breakpoint in your program, then start it up. At the breakpoint, hit Ctrl-C.
