GNU Info contains several commands which self-document GNU Info:
M-x describe-command
M-x describe-key
M-x describe-variable
M-x where-is
C-h (get-help-window)
?
*Help*, and places
a node containing a quick reference card into it. This window displays
the most concise information about GNU Info available.
h (get-info-help-node)
(info)Help. The info file
`info.texi' distributed with GNU Info contains this node. Of
course, the file must first be processed with makeinfo, and then
placed into the location of your info directory.
Here are the commands for creating a numeric argument:
C-u (universal-argument)
M-1 (add-digit-to-numeric-arg)
M-2 ... M-9
C-u 3 2 C-lor
M-3 2 C-l
`C-g' is used to abort the reading of a multi-character key sequence, to cancel lengthy operations (such as multi-file searches) and to cancel reading input in the echo area.
C-g (abort-key)
The `q' command of Info simply quits running Info.
q (quit)
If the operating system tells GNU Info that the screen is 60 lines tall, and it is actually only 40 lines tall, here is a way to tell Info that the operating system is correct.
M-x set-screen-height
Finally, Info provides a convenient way to display footnotes which might be associated with the current node that you are viewing:
ESC C-f (show-footnotes)
automatic-footnotes. See section Manipulating Variables.
