Basic Key Bindings
==================

   These key bindings are common across all modes:

`delete, SPC'
     Scroll up and down one page.

`Q'
     Quit speedbar, and kill the frame.

`q'
     Quit speedbar, and hide the frame.  This makes it faster to
     restore the speedbar frame, than if you press `Q'.

`g'
     Refresh whatever contents are in speedbar.

`t'
     Toggle speedbar to and from slowbar mode.  In slowbar mode, frame
     tracking is not done.

`n'
`p'
     Move, respectively, to the next or previous item.  A summary of
     that item will be displayed in the attached frame's minibuffer.

`M-n'
`M-p'
     Move to the next or previous item in a restricted fashion.  If a
     list is open, the cursor will skip over it.  If the cursor is in
     an open list, it will not leave it.

`C-M-n'
`C-M-n'
     Move forwards and backwards across extended groups.  This lets you
     quickly skip over all files, directories, or other common
     sub-items at the same current depth.

`C-x b'
     Switch buffers in the attached frame.

   Speedbar can handle multiple modes.  Two are provided by default.
These modes are File mode, and Buffers mode.  There are accelerators to
switch into these different modes.

`b'
     Switch into Quick Buffers mode (Note: Buffer Mode).  After one
     use, the previous display mode is restored.

`f'
     Switch into File mode.

`r'
     Switch back to the previous mode.

   Some modes provide groups, lists and tags.  Note: Basic Visuals.
When these are available, some additional common bindings are available.

`RET'
`e'
     Edit/Open the current group or tag.  This behavior is dependent on
     the mode.  In general, files or buffers are opened in the attached
     frame, and directories or group nodes are expanded locally.

`+'
`='
     Expand the current group, displaying sub items.  When used with a
     prefix argument, any data that may have been cached is flushed.
     This is similar to a power click.  Note: Mouse Bindings.

`-'
     Contract the current group, hiding sub items.
