's' for search, 'l' for last node, normal cursor control, what's cryptic about these?
One set of hotkeys is OK, but they're not really the same all over, are they? And the ones you mention isn't exactly all there are. I like to think I have a pretty good memory, but I sometimes find myself staring at the screen trying to remember the particular key sequence for less, vi, info or even emacs. It can be a pain at times. But don't ask me, ask the people you are trying to sell SuSE Personal Edition to. There is a reason, is there not, why someone wrote the sax interface to X configuration, the YaST interface to system configuration in general, and there is a reason why you're using KDE instead of blackbox or twm as default window manager. I believe if there is a decent interface for these things, it should at least be mentioned. And konqueror's "intelligent browsing", with "man:foo", "info:foo", "rfc:1234" etc is incredibly useful
