i always just used space+quit. o_O
now that i know there are more commands
i typed 'w' and get this prompt:
"-- More -- SPACE/d/j: screen/page/line down, b/u/k: up, q: quit"
summary: ":ls" paging commands:
b+f back/forth one full page
d+u down/up one half page
g+G goto/Goto beginning/end
nice - very helpful! thanks, guys!
i obviously havent read the list of flags before. ":ls t" is great!
is there aby way to make vim show the list with the
date+time *before* the kraut-lang long filename?
example:
buf flags date time filename
23 a+ 2020-12-06 23:42:05 "/home/www/guckes/public_html/bash/bash.readline.txt"
oh.. and abbreviating prefixes like "/home/www/guckes/public_html" would be useful, too. :)
(hmm.. symlinks? hardlinks?)
