Quit mode
copy mode
// what it does
Pressing q runs the copy-mode `cancel` command, exiting copy mode and returning the pane to the live shell at the bottom of the output. It's the standard way out once you've finished reading or copying.

q
// gotcha
Quitting discards any in-progress selection and snaps the view back to the live prompt — it does not preserve your scroll position. If you copied first (Enter), that already exits copy mode for you.
