Hello,

on a customer postgres db, using psql, if I post \  to initiate, for
exemple \x
that psql immediately exits.
somewhat boring as it blocks all psql meta commands.
Is there a way to get the extended display without posting a \  ?

thanks,

I've seen that happen with broken terminals, mostly some "web shell"
stuff. Ditch that, it's most likely broken in other ways, too.

If you can live with expanded mode being constantly on, start psql
with parameter -x as in "--expanded".

Christoph
