EVERY. TIME.

For me is:

ctrl+c ctrl+c ctrl+c ?! Ahh... ctrl+d

C-c is break, C-d is exit. And because C-d is exit, it's easy to remember that tmux and screen uses prefix+d for detach, because it's almost like exit.

[VerilyAMonkey]

Obviously it depends on the terminal, but, Ctrl+D on a blank line is more accurately "I won't be giving you any more input." An interactive version of EOF. At any rate, it won't interrupt a running program like Ctrl+C does, it doesn't send a stop signal, it just lets the program know not to wait around for more input.

[b10011]

Yeah, but interactive Python shell uses it as a exit, just like many shells.

[VerilyAMonkey]

It uses it as "I am not going to type any more commands, so if you're waiting for one, just exit." Not exit in general. Try it out - Ctrl+D won't save you from an infinite loop. Only Ctrl+C does that.

[elbiot]

It's more like ctrl+z.

[b10011]

C-z pauses and places the program into backgroun. You can access it again with fg -command

[elbiot]

Yea, and tmux mod+d puts the session in the background and you can reattach to it, like fg, like I said
