11 * TODO:
12 * - Add more regular expression support - search modifiers, certain matches, etc.
13 * - Add more complex bracket searching - currently, nested brackets are
14 * not considered.
15 * - Add support for "F" as an input. This causes less to act in
16 * a similar way to tail -f.
17 * - Allow horizontal scrolling.
19 * Notes:
20 * - the inp file pointer is used so that keyboard input works after
21 * redirected input has been read from stdin

1596 If you are implementing something, keeping
1597 key and/or command line switch compatibility is a good idea:
1600 SUMMARY OF LESS COMMANDS
1602 Commands marked with * may be preceded by a number, N.
1603 Notes in parentheses indicate the behavior if N is given.
1604 h H Display this help.
1605 q :q Q :Q ZZ Exit.
1606 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1607 MOVING
1608 e ^E j ^N CR * Forward one line (or N lines).
1609 y ^Y k ^K ^P * Backward one line (or N lines).
1610 f ^F ^V SPACE * Forward one window (or N lines).
1611 b ^B ESC-v * Backward one window (or N lines).
1612 z * Forward one window (and set window to N).
1613 w * Backward one window (and set window to N).
1614 ESC-SPACE * Forward one window, but don't stop at end-of-file.
1615 d ^D * Forward one half-window (and set half-window to N).
1616 u ^U * Backward one half-window (and set half-window to N).
1617 ESC-) RightArrow * Left one half screen width (or N positions).
1618 ESC-( LeftArrow * Right one half screen width (or N positions).
1619 F Forward forever; like "tail -f".
1620 r ^R ^L Repaint screen.
1621 R Repaint screen, discarding buffered input.
1622 ---------------------------------------------------
1623 Default "window" is the screen height.
1624 Default "half-window" is half of the screen height.
1625 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1626 SEARCHING
1627 /pattern * Search forward for (N-th) matching line.
1628 ?pattern * Search backward for (N-th) matching line.
1629 n * Repeat previous search (for N-th occurrence).
1630 N * Repeat previous search in reverse direction.
1631 ESC-n * Repeat previous search, spanning files.
1632 ESC-N * Repeat previous search, reverse dir. & spanning files.
1633 ESC-u Undo (toggle) search highlighting.
1634 ---------------------------------------------------
1635 Search patterns may be modified by one or more of:
1636 ^N or ! Search for NON-matching lines.
1637 ^E or * Search multiple files (pass thru END OF FILE).
1638 ^F or @ Start search at FIRST file (for /) or last file (for ?).
1639 ^K Highlight matches, but don't move (KEEP position).
1640 ^R Don't use REGULAR EXPRESSIONS.
1641 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1642 JUMPING
1643 g < ESC-< * Go to first line in file (or line N).
1644 G > ESC-> * Go to last line in file (or line N).
1645 p % * Go to beginning of file (or N percent into file).
1646 t * Go to the (N-th) next tag.
1647 T * Go to the (N-th) previous tag.
1648 { ( [ * Find close bracket } ) ].
1649 } ) ] * Find open bracket { ( [.
1650 ESC-^F <c1> <c2> * Find close bracket <c2>.
1651 ESC-^B <c1> <c2> * Find open bracket <c1>
1652 ---------------------------------------------------
1653 Each "find close bracket" command goes forward to the close bracket
1654 matching the (N-th) open bracket in the top line.
1655 Each "find open bracket" command goes backward to the open bracket
1656 matching the (N-th) close bracket in the bottom line.
1657 m<letter> Mark the current position with <letter>.
1658 '<letter> Go to a previously marked position.
1659 '' Go to the previous position.
1660 ^X^X Same as '.
1661 ---------------------------------------------------
1662 A mark is any upper-case or lower-case letter.
1663 Certain marks are predefined:
1664 ^ means beginning of the file
1665 $ means end of the file
1666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1667 CHANGING FILES
1668 :e [file] Examine a new file.
1669 ^X^V Same as :e.
1670 :n * Examine the (N-th) next file from the command line.
1671 :p * Examine the (N-th) previous file from the command line.
1672 :x * Examine the first (or N-th) file from the command line.
1673 :d Delete the current file from the command line list.
1674 = ^G :f Print current file name.
