$ 'q' then 'y'

The command "q" then "y" refers to the input sequence in a command-line interface, where you first type 'q' and then immediately after, type 'y' and press the Enter key. This combination is often used to confirm or accept a certain action, typically in situations where you want to quit or exit a program or terminate a process.

For example, in some text editors or file viewers, entering 'q' is used to initiate the quit command, and immediately following it with 'y' confirms your decision to quit. It ensures that you don't accidentally exit the program without intending to do so.

Likewise, in some command-line utilities or installation processes, you may be prompted with a question asking if you want to proceed with a particular action. In this case, typing 'q' and then 'y' explicitly indicates that you want to answer "yes" or confirm the action being asked.

The exact behavior and purpose of entering 'q' then 'y' can vary depending on the specific context and program you are working with, but overall, it is a common input sequence used for confirming actions or making selections within a command-line interface.
