I have no idea why many of us have become so used to an application exiting when we hit Ctrl-D, but we have. Ctrl-D is baked into our brains and has been for a very long time.

Typing (exit) isn't that hard, but I find myself hitting Ctrl-D every single time and then realize I need to type (exit).

Thanks for this feature. It's probably silly, but I appreciate it very much.
