Being plain text, it’s much easier to read on a wide screen, or on something without line wrapping.

I don’t know how this would be useful to someone reading the cheat sheet, but here’s something interesting I just indirectly found out while skimming it through:
Ctrl+D
does the same thing asENTER
, except the latter additionally sends the end-of-line character to the reader while the former sends nothing;as is the case for shells or interactive programs like the Python REPL,
Ctrl+D
causes them to terminate only because it sends a string that is 0 characters long, and 0-size reads are universally interpreted as files reaching the end.To test this: enter
cat
, type “hello” without pressing enter, thenCtrl+D
: you should see “hellohello”.An extremely rare case of this being useful would be using netcat to send a string somewhere, without sending the end-of-line byte at the end.
I updated “Log out” to “Exit (sends a signal indicating the end of a text stream)”. Which I think is a lot more accurate, and still easy to understand.
