[issue19089] Windows: Make Ctrl-D exit key combination cross-platform
Raymond Hettinger added the comment: [Brain Curtin] Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-D simply have different meanings on the different platforms, outside of what Python does. We already can't make Ctrl-Z on Windows do what it does on Linux, and Ctrl-D is not natural to Windows users. I concur. It would be a mistake to violate the O/S standards and norms. I recommend this issue be closed. -- assignee: - rhettinger nosy: +rhettinger ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19089 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Eric V. Smith added the comment: It's trying to be consistent on whatever platform it's on. I'd rather python.exe match all other text-based .exe's on Windows. We can't have it both ways. But I agree it's a hassle. Cross-platform is a problem that Cygwin is trying to solve, so I suggest you use it. I usually use the Cygwin python for this reason. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19089 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Brian Curtin added the comment: I'm unable to find the previous issue, but you asked for this in the past. Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-D simply have different meanings on the different platforms, outside of what Python does. We already can't make Ctrl-Z on Windows do what it does on Linux, and Ctrl-D is not natural to Windows users. -- nosy: +brian.curtin ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19089 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Tim Golden added the comment: I'm at best +0.25, but I don't have a problem with Ctrl-D exiting on Windows, as it doesn't do anything else! The thing is, though, that this is all handled within myreadline.c:my_fgets which is a call into the system fgets which errors out with Ctrl-Z but returns Ctrl-D. Which means that the two would behave differently even if we special-cased Ctrl-D. (Sorry: was that explanation a bit involved?) -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue19089 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
