After using a man command, (I recently read up on man mount) how do I get back to the shell prompt?
I tried ESC, but most intelligently it just parrots my key - says "ESC" and does nothing else. Ctrl+F4 completely closes the Konsole window.
Thanks in advance...
q for quit. :-)
I am doing a no-no by typing CTRL-Z or CTRL-C to close man?
Not really. 'q' is a clean exit... Ctrl+z isn't. Either works.
CTRL-Z isn't an exit at all! The process is still there, just suspended. CTRL-C does exit the process (any process).
q is the way to ask this particular process nicely. But there's no effective difference between q and CTRL-C in this case, AFAIK.
Cheers, Dave
CTRL-C doesn't work on my machine. I always use Q. Greg Wallace
