did you know that SSH has a little-known secret menu?

@rebane2001, it doesn't even have to be Enter as there's no keycode checking going on; Return, Ctrl-M and (not really all that surprisingly) Ctrl-J all work equally well.

It's not enabled here by default (OpenSSH on Devuan; see ssh_config(5)), but it's trivial to do per-session:
ssh -e'~' USER@HOST

I can even use ^] if I want to (to a small extent) mimic telnet, either as that pair of characters representing Ctrl-] or the actual character itself (inserted as a literal via e.g. the shell's quote key).

@rebane2001 Only problem is: I would only use it to look up how to terminate a hanged connection, because I always forget which weird shortcut that is -- but opening this help menu requires me to remember already half the keys from that shortcut. 🥲
