I'm trying to learn Emacs, and I've installed MELPA as a package manager. The only problem is that the only way I know how to exit MELPA is by quitting Emacs entirely. I'm sure there's a better way to do this. What is it?

    I don't understand: as far as I know, MELPA is not a package manager but one of the ELPA package archives (typically accessed with the package manager that comes bundled with Emacs since 24.1). So I don't know what you mean by "install MELPA", and I have no idea what "exit MELPA" might mean either. – Stefan Apr 03 '15 at 13:56
  • I probably mean setup. I'm really asking how I get out of the screen I'm on after I type M-x package-list – superlizardmo Apr 03 '15 at 13:59

Killing buffers with C-x k RET is generally good advice, but it is much easier to quit the package-list-packages screen by simply pressing q.

This also works to exit dired buffers, magit, and many other types of buffers that aren't text-oriented.

  • C-x C-f open file
  • C-x C-b open buffer list
  • C-x b open buffer
  • M-x execute command

C - ctrl and M - alt
