info-stnd: Selecting Xrefs
8.2 Selecting Xrefs
===================
The following table lists the Info commands which operate on menu items.
'1' ('menu-digit')
'2' ... '9'
'M-1', vi-like operation
'M-2' ... 'M-9', vi-like operation
Within an Info window, pressing a single digit, (such as '1'),
selects that menu item, and places its node in the current window.
For convenience, there is one exception; pressing '0' selects the
_last_ item in the node's menu. When '--vi-keys' is in effect,
digits set the numeric argument, so these commands are remapped to
their 'M-' varieties. For example, to select the last menu item,
press 'M-0'.
'0' ('last-menu-item')
'M-0', vi-like operation
Select the last item in the current node's menu.
'm' ('menu-item')
Reads the name of a menu item in the echo area and selects its
node. Completion is available while reading the menu label. ⇒
completion The Echo Area.
'M-x find-menu'
Move the cursor to the start of this node's menu.
This table lists the Info commands which operate on cross-references.
'f' ('xref-item')
'r'
Reads the name of a note cross-reference in the echo area and
selects its node. Completion is available while reading the
cross-reference label. ⇒completion The Echo Area.
Finally, the next few commands operate on menu or note references
alike:
<TAB> ('move-to-next-xref')
Move the cursor to the start of the next nearest menu item or note
reference in this node. You can then use <RET>
('select-reference-this-line') to select the menu or note
reference.
'M-TAB' ('move-to-prev-xref')
'BackTab'
'Shift-<TAB>' (on DOS/Windows only)
Move the cursor the start of the nearest previous menu item or note
reference in this node.
The 'BackTab' key can be produced on some terminals with
'Shift-<TAB>'.
<RET> ('select-reference-this-line')
Select the menu item or note reference appearing on this line.
