All,

    When viewing a man page, pg-up/pg-dn scroll 1/2 screen while 'f' and 'b' scroll an entire screen. How do I remap the pg-up/pg-dn keys for man so they behave like 'f' and 'b'?

for "man"? space bar also scrolls an entire page

Yes, thank you, But what I was wondering is - where/how is the key remapping done for man? The reason I want to remap pg-up/pg-dn is depending on where my hands are on the keyboard, I sometimes just hit pg-up/pg-dn instead of 'f' or 'b'. And when I do, I want pg-up/pg-dn to behave life 'f' or 'b'. I'll dig further. Seems the binding are controlled by lesskey - which I'll have to digest. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

`man man` shows:

So `man less` is your next step.

Yep, found it, thank you. It was a matter of which RTFM to R. Should have caught the text in the "-P pager" paragraph identifying the M. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
