Is ctrl+D the same as close exit or logout or does it stand for detach
and run in the background ?

Cntl-D when read as input means EOF. The shell reads commands until it reaches the end of the shell script, or the end of user input, and then exits. Cntl-D thus behaves similar to exit or logout.


[ EOF really is a state of mind, not a character. ]

If i do ctrl +D in a terminal doing nothing ?

Your shell will exit.

Will the terminal be runing forever in the background doing
nothing untill i kill it ?

Nope. Your terminal window will notice the child shell process go away, and will do the same thing.


Where can you find a list of csh ctrl commands ?

These aren't specific to csh, but see "stty -a".
