4. Navigation

4.1 Back and Forward

These are the history commands. Back moves back to the previous page you visited, while Forward moves you to the next page that you visited. The history list is currently up to 50 locations deep, though this will probably be configurable in future releases.

4.2 Prev, Next, Up, Top

You will recognise these commands if you have used info previously. Info documents are arranged hierarchically with each page called a node. All info documents have a Top node, i.e. the opening page. You can return to the Top node of an info document by pressing Top.

Prev & Next are used to move to the previous/next page at the current level of the hierarchy.

Clicking on a menu item within a document moves you to a lower level in the hierarchy. You may move up the hierarchy by pressing Up.

Man is treated similarly to info, with the section index being the Top node and each man page on the level below.
