Linux Terminal Stuck in > Mode
I new to Linux. Opened up Terminal and accidentally typed the apostrophe (') character and pressed Enter and now my command line is stuck w/ a ">" prompt. I can't get out of it other than closing the entire Terminal session.
What mode is that, what is it used for, and how can I exit out of it to get back to a normal $ prompt?

Hi.. ctrl+S is for scroll lock and often lInux console gets locked when you accidentally press these keys. You could release it by pressing ctrl+Q
