How do I quit telnet without using standard Ctrl+] combination?

Question

The title says it all. Note that I'm using a non-US layout, Norwegian, so I can't create the Ctrl+] combination. I've found the trick before, but can't find it.

Answer 1

Type Ctrl+] to enter the telnet menu, then enter quit. For more commands, see man telnet.

Edit: Haven't noticed that you can't type Ctrl+], but I would be surprised if there isn't a way to type that with every keyboard. But you can change the escape character with the commandline option -e [char].

Answer 2

Not sure what layout you have, but for me in Finnish layout it is Ctrl + å.

Answer 3

To answer your specific question: Ctrl+å then enter quit.

But to make it more fun it depends on your layout a lot:

(Remember on a Mac Ctrl is your ⌃ key)

• Default: Ctrl+[
• Dutch, Belgian: Ctrl+$
• French: Ctrl+6
• Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish: Ctrl+å
• Swiss: Ctrl+¨
• German: Ctrl+ü
• Hungarian and Turkish: Ctrl+5
• Portuguese: Ctrl+´
• Canadian French: Ctrl+ç

then enter quit.

For more commands, see man telnet.

Answer 4

You can also use the command "set escape" followed by any key you want to set the escape character.

example: telnet> set escape ctrlp

Answer 5

I often don't remember the key-sequences... except at the telnet prompt this sequence works: telnet> quit

followed by the return key.

Answer 6

Ctrl5 (back to telnet) and then Ctrld (back to shell)
