Honestly I had no idea what ctrl+d even did, I just knew it was a convenient way for me to close all the REPL programs I use. The fact that it is similar to pressing enter really surprised me, so I wanted to share this knowledge with you :)

Ctrl+d terminates input on stdin to your currently running program or shell.
not true. try this:
$ date<C-d>bash did not terminate stdin, because when i press enter it still runs the command, and my shell continues to work as normal!
you can also try this:
$ bash --noediting $ date<C-d><C-d>and it will print the date.
so something else is happening here! thats what the link talks about in detail

For some reason my mobile client didn’t make the article link immediately obvious. That’s actually really interesting. Apparently I was under the same common misconception. So the shell in this case is choosing to continue after detecting the flush.
