When you use the command journalctl -p err -b for example, you get an answer that ends with "END" as the screenshot below shows. What command do I use to end this and get the opportunity to enter the next command without having to close the window and open a new one?

A smooth way to end that command is to hit q (for quit). It looks like it is viewed with the viewer less; it may be using a less-related library.



You can quit from this command and several other text mode programs with q. In this case and several other cases you can also quit with the ctrl C interrupt, but it is 'more brutal'.

    It seems like it's actually not using less itself but a less-related library, cause pidof less outputs nothing while it's running, and I tried to disable the paging with LESS=F journalctl -p err -b but it didn't work. Compare to git where both of those work.

Read man less. In the Description section, it says:



 The output is paged through less by default, and long lines are "truncated" to screen
width. The hidden part can be viewed by using the left-arrow and right-arrow keys. Paging
can be disabled; see the --no-pager option and the "Environment" section below.


So, you should read man less to learn about this useful tool.



One of the things you can learn from man less is:



 q or Q or :q or :Q or ZZ
Exits less.
