When you type a command in vim that results in text scrolling up the screen -
eg :messages or :registers, you will be hit by one of two comments:
Press ENTER or type command to continue

-- More --
depending upon whether there are more lines to display. Often, I want to good
way to immediately go back to editing from either of these situations.
To quit the "more" situation, pressing "q" seems to be a good option. It will also
appear to work for the "Press ENTER or type a command" situation, in that it appears to be a
command which in turn clears the text.
However, in the "Press ENTER" situation, that q will be remembered as the start
of a command.
How about remapping normal-mode q to nop:
:nmap q <nop>
Then you can use q safely for both 'Press Enter' prompt and for 'More' prompt.
Does this help ?
