Selecting Xrefs
===============

   The following table lists the Info commands which operate on menu
items.

<1> (`menu-digit')
<2> ... <9>
<M-1>, vi-like operation
<M-2> ... <M-9>, vi-like operation
     Within an Info window, pressing a single digit, (such as `1'),
     selects that menu item, and places its node in the current window.
     For convenience, there is one exception; pressing `0' selects the
     _last_ item in the node's menu.  When `--vi-keys' is in effect,
     digits set the numeric argument, so these commands are remapped to
     their `M-' varieties.  For example, to select the last menu item,
     press <M-0>.

<0> (`last-menu-item')
<M-0>, vi-like operation
     Select the last item in the current node's menu.

<m> (`menu-item')
     Reads the name of a menu item in the echo area and selects its
     node.  Completion is available while reading the menu label.
     Note: completion.

`M-x find-menu'
     Move the cursor to the start of this node's menu.

   This table lists the Info commands which operate on cross references.

<f> (`xref-item')
<r>

<M-f>, vi-like operation
`C-x <r>', vi-like operation
     Reads the name of a note cross reference in the echo area and
     selects its node.  Completion is available while reading the cross
     reference label.  Note: completion.

   Finally, the next few commands operate on menu or note references
alike:

<TAB> (`move-to-next-xref')
     Move the cursor to the start of the next nearest menu item or note
     reference in this node.  You can then use <RET>
     (`select-reference-this-line') to select the menu or note
     reference.

<M-TAB> (`move-to-prev-xref')
<Shift-<TAB>> (on DOS/Windows only)
     Move the cursor the start of the nearest previous menu item or note
     reference in this node.

     On DOS/Windows only, the `Shift-<TAB>' key is an alias for
     `M-<TAB>'.  This key is sometimes called `BackTab'.

<RET> (`select-reference-this-line')
<M-g>, vi-like operation
     Select the menu item or note reference appearing on this line.
