Maybe it's that I've never used emacs(1), but I never liked it.I mention this on the list periodically, because I learned this trick from this list and it's invaluable for browsing the groff documentation: the "info" command does not require you to use its own (emacsy) interface. You can pipe its output to a pager -- say, "less" -- and read the full manual with the same keystrokes you would any man page. "info groff | less" will show you the docs for whatever groff version is currently installed on your system. If, like me, you sometimes want to look at the latest info text without having to install a new groff, you can do that if your system has the texinfo package and up-to-date groff source from git. The command then is "makeinfo --plaintext [groff-src-path]/doc/groff.texi | less".
Hmm, I remember having read this. I think it's time to write an alias infoless to not forget :)
