Message-ID: <200608202124.k7KLOSN28296@f7.net> (raw)
I tend to agree with the user's suggestion below. I personally use l
more than nearly anything else besides SPC.
So I suggest we create a new node for it, between these two:
@section The Space, DEL, B and ^L commands
@section Invisible text in Emacs Info
And move the help text from the end of the SPC node to the new node.
That will also have the advantage of making the SPC node a little
shorter; it's quite long.
Ok? (I'm happy to make the actual change, but since we've discussed the
Info manual so extensively here, thought I should bring it up first.)
As a separate issue, the node name Help-^L for the SPC node would be
better as "Help-Move" or some such. I surmise that Help-^L just looks
gobbeldygook to some new users trying to read through the tutorial.
Thanks,
Karl

Subject: [help-texinfo] The L command described too late
Hi
I have one remark about the texinfo documentation for Info. Namely, the
small-L (last) command is described in "Intermediate Info commands" node,
while it is, IMHO, a very basic and very useful command. I suggest describing
it earlier, somewhere after P, N and SPACE, but before the menus.
Before learning the L command I often got lost in the hierarchy of nodes and
had to start all over from the beginning in order to come back where I was
before.
BR
Tom
