i always just used space+quit. o_O now that i know there are more commands i typed 'w' and get this prompt:
"-- More -- SPACE/d/j: screen/page/line down, b/u/k: up, q: quit" summary: ":ls" paging commands: b+f back/forth one full page d+u down/up one half page g+G goto/Goto beginning/end nice - very helpful! thanks, guys! i obviously havent read the list of flags before. ":ls t" is great! is there aby way to make vim show the list with the date+time *before* the kraut-lang long filename? example: buf flags date time filename 23 a+ 2020-12-06 23:42:05 "/home/www/guckes/public_html/bash/bash.readline.txt" oh.. and abbreviating prefixes like "/home/www/guckes/public_html" would be useful, too. :) (hmm.. symlinks? hardlinks?)
