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 On the theme of background programs: accidentally pausing something with Ctrl+Z when I meant Ctrl+C and not knowing how to get it back.

@samir I guess you already know it, but usually a simple fg does the trick. Or fg %1, fg %2 – the jobs command will tell you the number.

@notbobbytables Yep, I am now intimately familiar with bash job control. I'm not sure whether I'm proud or horrified about this. :-p
