htop: top on steroids
Like the classical “top” Unix system monitor, but prettier and with a few nice features like horizontal and vertical scrolling and easier to kill and renice processes.

So, my problem with htop is that it requires you to press a function key to exit. Unfortunately, a lot of terminals don’t bind function keys correctly/at all. This makes it kind of hard to use it universally.
Huh? On my system, I just press “q” to exit htop, just like top.
Hey, it’s not fair if you know all the cheat codes.
