Exiting could be more intuitive #27

Closed passcod closed 9 years ago

passcod commented 9 years ago

Not sure if that's a Vorpal UX issue instead.

To exit from wat:

Ctrl-C works
exit works
Ctrl-D on an empty line does nothing (I expected exit as in shell-like behaviour)
q or quit do nothing (I tried q as a reflection / habit from vim/less etc)

I can make quit an alias in vorpal - as it's pretty all-around. q will be added as an alias on wat.

I'll check out Ctrl-D. I think I remember some complication with it in Vorpal, but I'll check.

Agreed entirely based upon my first experience. Under the welcome message which prints on the first load of wat tour it would be nice to also see "Exit using _ at any point in time"

@passcod added quit to Vorpal by default. Ctrl+D doesn't seem to have a stable handler in Node across all platforms (https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_signal_events), so I'm not going to do anything with it right now.

@dawsonbotsford added this message to the tour.
