Linux Primer Issue #37

Closed santaisme closed 3 years ago

santaisme commented 3 years ago

When I accidentally write something incorrectly (which is often because I'm new to coding) then I get stuck in a blank loop and can't go further so I then close it and have to restart. It is also very easy to accidentally leave and loose all your progress. image

Thanks for filing the issue! With most traps like this, you can hit c to break out. In that specific case with cat, you can also send an "End of File" character with d. That's known/expected functionality with Linux.

As to losing progress, yes, that's something we may address at some point. It's tricky to maintain that progress though, especially when some people want to start back over from the beginning. But, again, thanks for the input! We're always looking to make our challenges better.
