Getting out of special REPL modes #86

Closed moble closed 7 months ago

Each mode is entered by typing a specific character after the julia> prompt, and can be exited by hitting backspace after the julia> prompt.

That's not quite right; the second prompt isn't julia>.

More specifically, I think that advice is easy to overlook — especially with the Pkg and shell modes. These two don't pop you back to the default mode after each command. So in both of those subsections, I think it would be clearer to reiterate that you get back to default mode by hitting backspace at an empty prompt.
