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 "broken" terminal (+1 for @AndrewMcHarg), e.g. after using screen; sometimes stty sane helps

@tamberg @b0rk @AndrewMcHarg this - sometimes if I cat a binary file by accident, the terminal gets into a totally weird state. i usually use the "reset" command. (not about quitting programs strictly speaking, apologies)

@hjwp @tamberg @b0rk I have done this more times than I can count 🤣. Usually it’s me thinking it might be binary but gambling on my terminal it is not.
