I can not type anything in the terminal Mac Ventura after I type EXIT

Hai Everyone,


I can not type anything in the terminal after I type Exit. the text editor shows:

Last login: Sun Mar  5 22:19:16 on ttys000


Saving session...


...copying shared history...


...saving history...truncating history files...


...completed.




[Process competed]


what should I do to fix it?


I'd tried to restart and also my profile is default.

The default behavior if the base shell program in a window terminates is to close the window

Sadly, what the OP is describing is actually the default behaviour. Anyone who uses Terminal more than three times will immediately change it because it is so annoying. But you did that so long ago that you've forgotten about it.


The fix is hard to find too:

1) Terminal > Preferences/Settings

2) Profiles > Shell

3) Change "When the shell exits" to "Close if the shell exited cleanly"


PS: And if you want to try different "profiles", you'll have to re-apply the fix each time

TextEdit is an Apple text editor application in your /Applications folder.


When you click once on a file in the Finder (or Finder Window), and then press the space bar, a Quick Look window will open and present the file contents (e.g. text in the case of hidden dot files). If Quick Look does not support a particular document type, it will open showing a document icon instead of the contents. Based on the document type, Quick Look will offer an open with application option at the top of its window, which in the case of the dot files, it will be TextEdit.
