Subject: Re: emacs Info's Next node name much more obvious than Current

Message-ID: <877jziqt6g.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87k73jkuyd.fsf@mail.jurta.org> (Juri Linkov's message of "Fri, 23 Jan 2004 09:03:38 +0200")

J> Right.  This is quite confusing. So, instead of the current

J> Next: uniq invocation,  Up: Operating on sorted files
J> File: coreutils.info,  Node: sort invocation

which one sees only in the standalone info reader, and only at the top
of a page.

Anyway, I'm talking about what one sees at the top of the screen, when
not at the top of a page, and in emacs:
Next: uniq invocation,  Up: Operating on sorted files

J> it's better to hide the node header completely and show the

J> (coreutils)sort invocation  Next: uniq invocation,  Up: Operating on sorted files

I see, adding "(coreutils)sort invocation" to the front of the
line. Sounds good, and there should be enough room too.

J> This, of course, duplicates information displayed in the mode line,

>> P.S. I wonder if there is any one stroke equivalent of "s <return>"

J> In the latest patch for info.el I already proposed to add `M-s' keybinding:

J>   (define-key Info-mode-map "\M-s" 'Info-search-next)

Well for we who have ESC s welded into our heads due to being born
before the ALT button, there is no gain.
