Subject: bug#22512: toggle showing Info index numbers
Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2016 10:51:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87twlt3zym.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
In Info mode:
1 .. 9 Pick first ... ninth item in node's menu.
Every third `*' is highlighted to help pick the right number.
Please:
1. Add a way to go to the 43rd item, not just "place cursor upon the first
item and type ESC 43 CTRL+N, then RET".
Maybe model it off of:
M-g (translated from <escape> g) runs the command goto-line.
2. Add a toggle, so each item in an index now shows its number.
E.g.,
* The iplookup router::
* The manualroute router::
* The queryprogram router::
* The redirect router::
* Environment for running local transports.
Becomes
* 43 The iplookup router::
* 44 The manualroute router::
* 45 The queryprogram router::
* 46 The redirect router::
* 47 Environment for running local transports: Environment for local transports.
Don't force us to have to look into each page to learn its number.
Don't assume numbers aren't important. They may correspond to chapter
numbers of a book.
