I would put that in the same parentheses as the ^C message, otherwise I 👍 this change! |

-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. |

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. |

Considering this is only on an interrupt, I'm not sure if it makes sense? |

@hemanth ... this is a good step, but I think something like the following would be better: |

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

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! |
