    Be careful with CTRL+D. In bash, if you have input any characters in your prompt, hitting CTRL+D will execute it the same way Enter would. In other words, don’t type out an rm command and then hit CTRL+D if you didn’t want to execute it. I don’t see this behavior in ksh. Commented Mar 18, 2019 at 18:28

    @Peschke On every system I've ever used Ctrl+D does nothing if I've typed something. I've never seen the behavior you describe. Commented Mar 18, 2019 at 19:19

    @JohnKugelman I tested and confirmed the behavior at the time of my comment with bash on RHEL 7.5. Commented Mar 18, 2019 at 19:21
