CTRL+D closes terminal window

I can't find any setting to disable this in the config file. I cannot find where it's openbox or some other process.

I've just reinstalled this from Fedora. I did not get the spin I got Fedora Workstation 40 and then installed LXDE Desktop from group install. It's only a few days old. I had it in my previous installs which I believe I stared from the Spin ISO. I sat down and figured out exactly what I was doing that caused this and due to some hand weakness I was hitting CTRL-D in error. So it is survivable, just odd it's not documented.

Thanks

Not 100% sure but I believe CTRL + D closes the terminal in most distros and is not unique to those with LXDE installed. Look in preferences of the terminal you are using. Shortcuts should be located there.

Just in case anyone else runs into this and wonders why it happens, it is the command shell (bash, dash, etc) that interprets CTRL-D as an exit command. The terminal then closes because the program it was running exited.
