Could always rewrite gets_interactive to implement the documented "alternative interface" to readline https://tiswww.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/readline.html#SEC43 and force exit that way by intercepting Ctrl-D at the character level. That does feel a bit (!) wrong though, and I'm not sure how difficult it gets with different locales etc. Would also have to modify gets_fromFile, in case readline was disabled. At this point it depends quite how far down the rabbit-hole you want to go to stop people googling "how do I exit psql", I suppose :p Geoff
