I'm inclined to agree with (1). (2) is something that could be worked around with (relatively) small effort, and in theory we could grab the value for eof from the terminal. Having said all that, has anyone suggested grabbing and writing out using the "stty quit" value? That appears to work whatever level you're at, readline-or-not, mid-line or not. It wasn't even something I was aware of. Here my quit value is ^\ (Ctrl-backslash) ~ stty -a | grep quit | sed -e 's/.*quit = \([^;]*\).*/\1/' ^\ ~ psql -U postgres psql (9.5.1) Type "help" for help. postgres=# select ' postgres'# ^\Quit ~ psql -U postgres psql (9.5.1) Type "help" for help. postgres=# select $$ postgres$# ^\Quit ~ psql --no-readline -U postgres psql (9.5.1) Type "help" for help. postgres=# select 'Quit Geoff
