5.16.2 Man Usage ¶
The Man page reader can be invoked via M-x man, where the user is prompted for a search key. This search key is typically the name of a command that has an associated Man page. In the Man page window, pressing C-o (or your binding of preference) will raise the menu casual-man-tmenu.
The following sections are offered in the menu:
- Navigation
Navigation commands with the document.
- Paragraph
Navigation commands by paragraph.
- Section
Navigation commands by section.
- Link
Jump to other Man pages referenced in the current Man page.
- Page
If the Man page reader is configured to display all manual pages for a given search key, navigation commands for multiple pages is provided.
Options Navigation ¶
casual-man-tmenu provides the menu item o which runs the command casual-man-occur-options. This will invoke occur with a regexp that searches for command line options (for example, “–foo”, “-a”) that can be navigated via the occur interface.
Man Settings ¶
By default, the Man page reader will not display all manual pages for given search key. This can be changed in the Settings menu casual-man-settings-tmenu that can be invoked by pressing , in casual-man-tmenu.
Press ‘s’ and configure Man-switches to have the value “-a” to get all manual pages.
Man Unicode Symbol Support ¶
By enabling “u Use Unicode Symbols” from the Settings menu, Casual Man will use Unicode symbols as appropriate in its menus.
