Problem Statement
Currently, Claude Code requires pressing Ctrl+D twice to exit the interactive session. While this safety mechanism helps prevent accidental exits, it would be helpful to have a configuration option to allow exiting with a single Ctrl+D press for users who prefer this behavior.
Current Behavior:
- Ctrl+D must be pressed twice to exit
- This is hardcoded and not configurable
Proposed Solution
Requested Feature:
Add a configuration setting (e.g., in settings.json) such as:
{
"exitOnSingleEOF": true
}
