Be careful, though-it's easy to jump up past the home page of the command you're reading about in Info to what is termed the Directory node, the root node that leads to all other Info nodes (another way to reach the Directory node is to type d, for directory, at any time). If you want to move up a node, to the parent of the node you're currently reading, use the u (for up) key. To move backward in the same fashion, use the [, or left square brace, key. Otherwise, you'll move to that node's next peer node. If you're reading a node and you press ], you'll jump to that node's first subnode, if one exists. If you instead want to move forward to a node or subnode, use the ], or right square brace, key. If n moves you to the next node at the current level, then p moves you to the previous one ( p for previous, get it?), again at the same level. If you reading a subnode and press n, however, you jump to the next subnode. If you are reading a node that had subnodes and you press n, you skip those subnodes and move to the next node that's a peer of the one you're currently reading. If you want to engage in fewer key presses, you can use n (for next) to move on to the next node at the same level. Using the spacebar, or the Backspace or Delete buttons, you can quickly run through an entire set of Info pages about a particular command. Likewise, going up moves you back to the previous node, through any subnodes. These keys offer one big advantage over PageDown and PageUp, besides being easier to reach: When you hit the end of a node, you automatically proceed onward to the next node, through subnodes if they exist. If you don't want to use PageDown and PageUp to move forward and backward within a section, you can instead use the spacebar to move down and the Backspace or Delete keys to move up.

Now that you know how to navigate within a particular section or node, let's move on to navigating between nodes. If, at any time, as you're jumping around from place to place, you notice that things look a little strange, such as the letters or words being distorted, press Ctrl+l to redraw the screen, and all should be well. If you reach the end of the section and you want to jump back to the top, just press b, which stands for beginning. You are not able to leave the particular section you're in, however. If you instead want to jump down a screen at a time, use your keyboard's PageDown button to jump up a screen at a time, use the PageUp key instead. When you reach the bottom, or end, of a particular section, your cursor stops and you are not able to proceed. Within a particular section's screen, to move down, or forward, one line at a time, use the down arrow to move up, or back, one line at a time, use the up arrow.
