I would put that in the same parentheses as the ^C message, otherwise I 👍 this change! |
Needs a proper commit message and PR description. Please see https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md |
-1, I think the current message is sufficient. It makes no sense to input .exit after a CTRL-C, when one can just .exit without the preceding keypress. |
@hemanth .. the branch name is inconsequential. Please note @silverwind's objection, however. |
So this is a usability/docs note. While it makes sense to use ^C after used once, the idea is to educate the user that |

Wow, I learned something today. But I would rephrase "use" to something like "type". The first impression I had when reading "use .exit" was that it would mean "use the process.exit method". I am however completely missing the point of the existence of .exit. What's the use case? My fingers are already on the CTRL-C buttons, why would I start typing ".exit" instead? |
I second @silverwind here. Normally when I press Ctrl + C (or Ctrl + D), I expect the program to terminate. But, if it doesn't then I would expect some valid message being shown to me. In this case, the message being printed looks perfectly fine to me. |

@hemanth ... would you be able/willing to update the PR with the suggested wording in #3368 (comment)? |
@jasnell Done. |
LGTM! |

When the user hits `^C` in the REPL show more info about `.exit`. The idea was to give more info to the user when they hit ^C. Current version just displays `(^C again to quit)` and most of the users are not aware of the `.exit` command that would Exit the repl.
@jasnell Looks fine now? |
Yes perfect. Thank you! |
