Optional Keyboard shortcut and menu item for closing Standard In

[libliflin]

Hi!

After trying to copy some Go code from a book and wondering what is wrong, I've been reading about a few different problems people have with EOF in windows here, here, here, here, here, and here.

If I squint really hard I can see a potential for ConEmu to close it's child's stdin somehow in code, thus optionally making it kinda sorta like bash's Ctrl+D.

Is this possible?

I'm lost. What's the problem?

/cc @techtonik does that relates to your Go question?

[techtonik]

Yes. I believe it is related. The problem is that Go programs do not process Ctrl-D and Ctrl-Z input. I don't think that ConEmu should process it, because different programs may have different purposes for that keybinding.

Sample Go program?

[techtonik]

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Print("Enter text: ")
    var input string
    fmt.Scanln(&input)
    fmt.Print(input)
}

I don't see any problems with example. It reads one line at a time. Enter stops reading, no additional keypresses (like Ctrl-Z) are required.

[techtonik]

It is just a code to read from input to start from.

Hi, No problem, just a feature request. And I don't think this should be part of standard ConEmu. I just think it would be nice for conemu to offer a menu option to close the child's stdin (with the possiblity for a user to bind it to a key binding if they choose)

[Maximus5]

@libliflin Unless anyone provides Go example where this feature is required or even helpful - I can't do any test.
Also, I consider this proposal as harmful, because this feature may break further execution of your app.

The specific code that did not work for me was https://github.com/adonovan/gopl.io/blob/master/ch1/dup2/main.go
