!! How is one supposed to find that? When searching `info info` for "bind" it finds nothing, when searching for "key" there are only many mentions of Backspace and Delete, and when searching for "conf" there is only one occurrence: confusing. > > Furthermore, man pages are scrollable by line, whereas info > > pages are paginated, > > As I said, you can easily reconfigure info to work much the same > way less does. Moreover, its documentation (not a man page, of > course), Why "of course"? Why must one first learn the default key bindings before being able to change them to something one knows? There should be a `man infokey`, and `man info` should point to it in a "See Also" section. > contains detailed instructions on how to do so: It does not contain a full list of all possible key actions, so one has to guess at the "search-next" and "search-previous" ones, nor does it contain a list of all default bindings, so one can't see what the Space bar is bound to nor how it differs from PageDown. > I don't find anything strange that [down-arrow] stops at the end > of a logical unit of text. If only it could be configured not to stop. Anyway, thanks for pointing to infokey; it's slightly better now. Benno
