You can press escape or q to exit this mode

Hi @leavor thanks for the feedback, as @impact27 you need to exit the help mode to be able to use again the console. Let us know if that helps :)

I think this is caused by the removal of the pager option in PR #14056 (which I thought was broken). I'll take care of this one because it's really confusing indeed.

@ccordoba12 Maybe it's better to add a "press Q to close" rather than restore old behavior, as docs replacing code in IPython window isn't really desired, and the new coloring is richer.
