Hi, For the past few years I realized that I use man more often than info, even though info is actually much more powerful. And I think I can trace the reason for that down to a single cause: When info does not find a topic, it shows me the top level of the info nodes instead of failing.
Can I somehow change that? Essentialy I need these two to do the same: $ man nonexisting $ info nonexisting The reason why dropping me at the top level disturbs so much is that showing a list implies success, so I look at the file, hoping to get the information I need, just to be disappointed to see the darn toplevel node instead of my info *again*. That really adds up to a lot of frustration over the years… Is there a config option or so to just fail when info gets a nonexisting topic? Or even a commandline flag? Best wishes, Arne PS: Is it possible to teach info to remember the line of the cursor in a given node? That would make browsing back and forth much easier (click on a link in a menu to go into a subnode, hit u to get back, move to the next interesting menu entry). -- Doktorand Gruppe: GHG Raum: 435/410 Tel.: +49 721 608-22885 [email protected] Karlsruher Institut für Technologie IMK-ASF Postfach 36 40 76021 Karlsruhe
