How to quit the JShell and go back to the command-line?


When using the JShell, how do I exit it back to the CMD line?

I have already tried ctrl + x and just writing quit, but to no joy.


Solution

  • You can use the JShell command to exit as:

    /exit
    

    You can also type the end-of-file character, which is Ctrl-D on Linux systems.

    Side note: Interestingly, with the use of command abbreviations for input shortcuts:-

    /ex
    

    (of course /exi) also, resolves into the same command.
