man command - getting back to command line


Recommended Posts

I am finding the following very frustrating.

 

When I use the man command I use page down or repeatedly press enter to go to the end of the text. However, I cannot work out how to get back to the command line. I have tried ctrl-C and esc but they do not work.

 

My current solution is to open another terminal, which is frustrating if I then have to su and cd to get back to where I was.

 

I have tried Google searches with keywords such as "Linux man exit" but or course the matches all tell me how I can use the man command to learn how to exit something. :wall:

 

I am sure that the solutiion is very simple....
