preview or open file?

[reagle]

Is there a way to preview or open a file (e..g, it's a simple text file).

Does shift + o work? If not, shift + ? should bring up a help menu that has the shortcut you seek.

I looked at help, but it appears to be off screen. How do I scroll the help message?

[Byron]

It's interesting that the inline help (red box) is entirely missing for you. Vim controls scroll up and down, j, k and others do the trick.

Yes, when the terminal window is relatively small, most of the stuff in red disappears. I didn't realize there was more help, that the help window could be scrolled, and for some reason it was jittery at first, but it seems to work if I'm patient. Perhaps if there was something at the bottom that indicated there's more below I wouldn't have made this mistake. In any case, thanks for your help.

Yes, there is no actual windowing system to know what's on and off a virtual screen, everything has to be done 'by hand'.

Probably it was still scanning.

In any case, thanks for your help.

You are welcome.
