Hmmm. TAB does work for going through menu items, but there doesn't seem
to be any way to go backwords through them (shift-TAB, the most obvious
method, does nothing.) Also, enter doesn't work. After searching through
the 'h', I found that I have to use ctrl-x enter. The reason I like man is
that it's "simple, straightforward, and intuitive", and this behavior
isn't.. (hrm, just noticed that 'u' doesn't work either.. all that just so
I can scroll a single line at a time?)
On a different note, perhaps a section should be added to the "Info: An
Introduction" titled "For those who like man", "Making info act more like
man", or something equally obvious, that details how other people could do
these options. That's the first place I looked.
