This is quite confusing. So, instead of the current header line and node header: Next: uniq invocation, Up: Operating on sorted files File: coreutils.info, Node: sort invocation it's better to hide the node header completely and show the following header line: (coreutils)sort invocation Next: uniq invocation, Up: Operating on sorted files This, of course, duplicates information displayed in the mode line, but this is not as bad as current information separation between node header, header line and mode line. > P.S. I wonder if there is any one stroke equivalent of "s " In the latest patch for info.el I already proposed to add `M-s' keybinding: (define-key Info-mode-map "\M-s" 'Info-search-next) There were another suggestions like `/', `\' for the same function, but seems these are not acceptable. -- http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
