Well, if you want to force-close the session. su/sudo/pkexec don't support that at all, as far as I know, so while there certainly is room for improvement when it comes to accessibility (and the formulation of the message) here, it isn't worse than su/sudo either. If you want to exit the shell normally, typically the 'exit' command will suffice (it depends on your shell, obviously). Christian On a jessie system, I can interrupt an Emacs file edit session with cntrlZ. My only self acknowledged disabilities are mild loss of cognitive function and frequent finger fumbles at the keyboard, so I don't know what a person who cannot press-and-hold cntrl and then press Z must do, but surely key entry of cntrlZ is already a solved problem, but maybe not.
