Say I type "man ssh" or something at the prompt and that I've found what
I'm looking for. I can exit the man program by holding down the enter
key until the prompt reappears, but I'm curious if there's anything
better.
If I hit Esc, the "Manual page ssh(1) line xxx" is replaced with "ESC".
I hit Esc again and go back to the "Manual page ssh(1) line xxx" thing.
I've tried Ctrl + C, Ctrl + Break and nothing works.
Any ideas?
Probably 'q' but it depends on what pager you are using. The pager is
a program to show you the text that "man" generates. From what you wrote,
I think you may be using "more" for your pager, so "q" should work. If you
want to use a different pager, I would recommend "less" you can type
export MANPAGER=less
before you execute "man".
