does anyone know if there's a reason why, in the terminal, there's no keyboard shortcut for "close the current program"?
obviously there's Ctrl+C, but Ctrl+C doesn't mean "close the current program", it means something more like "stop the current task, which may be a subtask of the current program". I guess I'm imagining a keyboard shortcut that sends a SIGTERM or something.
(please only answers based on actual evidence if you have any, not speculation)
