what are some problems with quitting programs in the terminal you’ve run into? so far I have:

- not knowing how to quit vim (or some other program like nano etc)
- programs not responding to ctrl c
- a background program being killed when you close your shell

what am i missing?

@b0rk not quite the same thing, but I still surprise myself pressing ctrl-z absent mindedly in a vi or other editor session expecting it to undo my action and instead it backgrounds the program. The first many times I did that I had no idea why the editor went away.
