While in the
info program, there are many ways to navigate and search. Besides the arrow keys to move around on the page, here is a list of the most useful key strokes:
-
? -- display information about all of the possible keystrokes
-
q -- quit info, return to Macaulay2
-
n -- go to the next documentation node
-
p -- go to the revious node
-
m -- follow the menu link
-
r -- follow a cross-reference
-
l -- go to the last node visited
Caveat
The
help command allows other possible arguments, such as
help methods ideal, but
infoHelp requires that the argument
s refers to only one documentation page.
