Cmder: Ctrl + D?

[namanyayg]

In a previous version, Ctrl + D duplicated the current tab. Now it closes Cmder.

Is there a way to restore Ctrl + D's functionality? Or if the shortcut has been re-assigned, what is the new shortcut?

Sorry for the noob question - I tried creating my own shortcut via ConEmu settings, but wasn't able to figure out how to do so.

Which version do you use?

I use Ctrl+D a lot too. I don't like to change this default key binding.

@doggy8088 I recently upgraded to 1.2.6 from 1.1.3 (iirc) recently, where I found the keybindings changed. There is no default shortcut for 'duplicate' now, it seems.

I'm pretty sure I'm using 1.1.x, and CTRL + D actually closes my current window.

Ctrl+D on unix sends an EOF (end of file) character. Maybe this is what happens here? EOF would exit a bash, for example.

[ccoenen]

On 1.1, Ctrl+D does the following:

• Git Bash: Closes (consistent with this StackOverflow answer)
• Cmd.exe: Nothing at all
• Powershell: ^D appears on the commandline

But in no case do i get another tab or window. Currently, there's no shortcut assigned for duplicate. But you can set any shortcut you want here: Click the icon in title bar, select "settings" (or use Win+Alt+P). This window comes up, where you can navigate to Keys&Macros

@ccoenen I guess Ctrl + D being EOF is the correct reason for default behavior.

Nonetheless, I was successfully able to remap the combination to "Duplicate tab with current state of root process" from your screenshot.

Thanks!

Bash and similar shells allow you to override the "ctrl+D to end session" behavior to basically do nothing. This is handy because ctrl+D is also the shortcut to go down a page in programs like less. If you're mashing that key to skim a file you don't want to accidentally hit that combo again outside of less.

When I open cmd.exe normally and just type ctrl+d it produces a ^D character. Something cmder is doing on top of cmd.exe is making it so ctrl+D closes the tab. Is there any way I can configure this to have the same behavior as on a regular cmd.exe session?

Agree with above. Rebinding ^D causes cmder to eat the key combination and makes programs like less unusable. Leaving the ^D makes it easy to accidentally close the terminal. The usual instructions to set environment variables don't work since we're not in bash. Would like an answer for this.
