Default Unix terminal problem with less command?


Hello there,
I do "less <filename>" to open a file. If I want to quit, normally we press 'q' but in my server, I have to press 'q' + Return/Enter.Similarly for other options(move down, up, etc) I have to press key + return. I want to reduce the pressing of 'Return/Enter'. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for any help.
