When I want to close a window I type exit :

 mbp-thomas in ~
○ → exit
logout

[Opération terminée]

Then cmd + w to close the window.

Is there a way to do it with a little script like if I type quit it exit the session then close the window ?

  • Can you configure Terminal to close when the shell closes? Jun 10, 2014 at 15:11

    While the question already has a great answer, a quick tip on the side: CTRL-D does the same as typing exit and hitting ENTER, but is much quicker. Also works when logging off a remote server in an SSH session.

  1. Open Terminal.

  2. Go to TerminalPreferences….

  3. Select the Settings tab, then your profile, and choose the Shell tab.

  4. Set When the shell exits to Close if the shell exited cleanly.

You could also simply quit Terminal by using Cmd+Q

    He did not ask how to quit terminal. This is not answer to his question.

  • True, and while it is technically and semantically different, for all intents and purposes, that is what's happening, except if there are multiple instances open (or wants an app without window processes running).
