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.

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

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].

I tried with -e y earlier, typing ctrl+y didn't work. – trygvis Apr 4 '11 at 10:07
@trygvis: Found out why it didn't work: -e y makes the y key the escape key. To use Ctrl+y you have to use -e ^y (that is the circumflex character). – DarkDust Apr 4 '11 at 10:32
Ah, doh. Thanks! Ctrl-å is the easiest for me (less to type), but very nice to know anyway. Cheers! – trygvis Apr 4 '11 at 10:39
