This is feature request - someone can point it as bug as well but I will not.
Ask / Request 👉🏽 Implement exit and quit as standard commands with a simple confirmation prompt
Why is this needed?
- Claude Code - Uses /exit (slash required) - causing user confusion where people accidentally send /exit as a prompt instead of exiting.
- Aider - Uses /exit and /quit (slash required) - Following the same non-standard pattern
- GitHub Copilot CLI - Uses "Exit" as a menu option and Esc key - No slash prefix needed, just select "Exit" from options or press Esc.
- Cursor CLI - uses exit.
- Git doesn't require /commit to prevent collision with the word "commit"
- Docker doesn't require /exit
- Even tools with rich command sets (like gdb, psql) use contextual parsing, not mandatory prefixes
- Every major REPL (Python, Node.js, MySQL, Redis, PostgreSQL) accepts exit or quit without special prefixes
- Having Gemini suggest /exit when users ask how to exit is a band-aid that Still requires users to discover they need help (failed discoverability).
- It Adds an extra step (ask AI → receive suggestion → type command) and doesn't't help users who try the standard exit first and get frustrated.
