info-stnd: Cursor Commands

 
 4 Moving the Cursor
 *******************
 
 GNU Info has several commands which allow you to move the cursor about
 the screen.
 
    With a numeric argument, the motion commands are simply executed that
 many times; for example, a numeric argument of 4 given to ‘next-line’
 causes the cursor to move down 4 lines.  With a negative numeric
 argument, the motion is reversed; an argument of −4 given to the
 ‘next-line’ command would cause the cursor to move _up_ 4 lines.
 
 ‘C-n’ (‘next-line’)
 <DOWN> (an arrow key)
      Move the cursor down to the next line.
 
 ‘C-p’ (‘prev-line’)
 <UP> (an arrow key)
      Move the cursor up to the previous line.
 
 ‘C-a’ (‘beginning-of-line’)
      Move the cursor to the start of the current line.
 
 ‘C-e’ (‘end-of-line’)
      Move the cursor to the end of the current line.
 
 ‘C-f’ (‘forward-char’)
 <RIGHT> (an arrow key)
      Move the cursor forward a character.
 
 ‘C-b’ (‘backward-char’)
 <LEFT> (an arrow key)
      Move the cursor backward a character.
 
 ‘M-f’ (‘forward-word’)
      Move the cursor forward a word.
 
 ‘M-b’ (‘backward-word’)
      Move the cursor backward a word.
 
 ‘M-<’ (‘beginning-of-node’)
 ‘b’
      Move the cursor to the start of the current node.
 
 ‘M->’ (‘end-of-node’)
 ‘e’
      Move the cursor to the end of the current node.
 
 ‘M-r’ (‘move-to-window-line’)
      Move the cursor to a specific line of the window.  Without a
      numeric argument, ‘M-r’ moves the cursor to the start of the line
      in the center of the window.  With a numeric argument of N, ‘M-r’
      moves the cursor to the start of the Nth line in the window.
