Does anyone know how Craig "Drops Out" of the next to run a new line of code?

On MacOS (and Linux), you can type exit() and press Enter or use the Ctrl + D shortcut keys. (Note: Ctrl and NOT Cmd) (Also, works in the terminal Python REPL the same way.)
In Windows, type Ctrl+Z and press Enter:

I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!

For the record, I HATE it when a video tutor does something like use shortcut keys without explaining what has happened off-screen. I have been similarly baffled and frustrated when key tips like that are left out by the instructors.
For me, it often happens when they are explaining how to set up a dev environment on a local system. If one KEY detail is left out, 9 times out of 10, I can't get the environment working.
Been there, done that, have the T-shirt!?! LOL
I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Peter Vann! I would like to point out that the CTRL + D was introduced in a course that should have been taken before this one. You can find the reference in this video at around the 5:19 mark

507 Pointsthank you! CTRL + D worked!

36,427 PointsBy the way, I don't know what code editor you generally use, but I highly recommend getting VERY familiar with shortcut keys in it. Knowing them can speed up a lot of your coding and save you a world of hurt!?! (And for your operating system in general, too.)
Also, look into things like Emmet and Dash for Mac (if you use a Mac)!?!
I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!

I knew he mentioned it before, but didn't want to dig too much and thought I could just get an answer on here faster. Thank you for the comment though!
