Not sure if this is a vim or fireplace thing but say I open a big file with slurp
it takes me to a buffer and at the bottom it says -- More --
I can't escape out of this. C-c
does nothing. C-d
gives me a small menu option, including q: quit
but that does nothing either. I have to just keep pressing enter for more until it's done. What am I doing wrong here?
vim thing
@chase-lambert See :help more-prompt
You could :set nomore
which I find to be a funny option name 😁
Hmm, q maybe doesn't work anymore due to streaming? It did at some point
G works too, which is something I use often.
Apparently <C-Y> will do something to yank it, interesting, gotta try that one
Ahh, G
of course. That will work fine. Thank you!
haha wow - after years at the command line, it baffled me to see that someone wouldn't know what to do at a -- More --
prompt
but of course if you've never seen one, it's totally bizarre
(back in the day, less
didn't exist, and the more
pager only accepted space / G / etc. and didn't understand arrow keys)
it also couldn't scroll up lol
And I use G
all the time, even in the browser with vimium. lol
also space scrolls a page, even in a browser
It still seems inefficient to send the cursor all the way to the bottom to let me exit instead of having q
work
agreed
q is supposed to work, I suspect there's something else at play.
