How to stop the running docker image?

[pH142857]

Hello, I followed the documentation to run a docker image but when I try to stop it with Ctrl+C in the terminal, it doesn't work. The way I found is to open a new terminal, run docker container ls -a to find the running container and then run docker stop <id>. Is there a simpler way? Could it be documented in the readme?
It might be basic docker knowledge, sorry if that's the case, I'm new to it all.
