,----[ C-h f view-mode RET ]
| view-mode is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in
| `view.el'.
|
| (view-mode &optional ARG)
|
| Toggle View mode, a minor mode for viewing text but not editing it.
| With a prefix argument ARG, enable View mode if ARG is positive,
| and disable it otherwise. If called from Lisp, enable View mode
| if ARG is omitted or nil.
|
| When View mode is enabled, commands that do not change the buffer
| contents are available as usual. Kill commands insert text in
| kill buffers but do not delete. Most other commands beep and
| tell the user that the buffer is read-only.
|
|
|
| The following additional commands are provided. Most commands
| take prefix arguments. Page commands default to "page size"
| lines which is almost a whole window, or number of lines set by
| z or w.
| Half page commands default to and set "half page size" lines
| which initially is half a window full. Search commands default
| to a repeat count of one.
|
| H, h, ? This message.
| Digits provide prefix arguments.
| - negative prefix argument.
| < move to the beginning of buffer.
| > move to the end of buffer.
| o scroll so that buffer end is at last line of window.
| SPC scroll forward "page size" lines.
| With prefix scroll forward prefix lines.
| DEL scroll backward "page size" lines.
| With prefix scroll backward prefix lines.
| z like SPC but with prefix sets "page size" to prefix.
| w like DEL but with prefix sets "page size" to prefix.
| d scroll forward "half page size" lines. With prefix, sets
| "half page size" to prefix lines and scrolls forward that much.
| u scroll backward "half page size" lines. With prefix, sets
| "half page size" to prefix lines and scrolls backward that much.
| RET, LFD scroll forward one line. With prefix scroll forward prefix line(s).
| y scroll backward one line. With prefix scroll backward prefix line(s).
| F revert-buffer if necessary and scroll forward.
| Use this to view a changing file.
| = prints the current line number.
| % goes prefix argument (default 100) percent into buffer.
| g goes to line given by prefix argument (default first line).
| . set the mark.
| x exchanges point and mark.
| @ return to mark and pops mark ring.
| Mark ring is pushed at start of every successful search and when
| jump to line occurs. The mark is set on jump to buffer start or end.
| m save current position in character register.
| ' go to position saved in character register.
| s do forward incremental search.
| r do reverse incremental search.
| / searches forward for regular expression, starting after current page.
| ! and @ have a special meaning at the beginning of the regexp.
| ! means search for a line with no match for regexp. @ means start
| search at beginning (end for backward search) of buffer.
| \ searches backward for regular expression, starting before current page.
| n searches forward for last regular expression.
| p searches backward for last regular expression.
| q quit View mode, restoring this window and buffer to previous state.
| q is the normal way to leave view mode.
| e exit View mode but stay in current buffer. Use this if you started
| viewing a buffer (file) and find out you want to edit it.
| This command restores the previous read-only status of the buffer.
| E exit View mode, and make the current buffer editable
| even if it was not editable before entry to View mode.
| Q quit View mode, restoring all windows to previous state.
| c quit View mode and maybe switch buffers, but don't kill this buffer.
| C quit View mode, kill current buffer and go back to other buffer.
|
| The effect of c, q and C depends on how view-mode was entered. If it was
| entered by view-file, view-file-other-window, view-file-other-frame, or
| M-x dired-view-file (M-x view-file, M-x view-file-other-window,
| M-x view-file-other-frame, or the Dired mode v command),
| then q will try to kill the current buffer.
| If view-mode was entered from another buffer, by C-c v,
| M-x view-buffer-other-window, M-x view-buffer-other frame, M-x view-file,
| M-x view-file-other-window, or M-x view-file-other-frame,
| then c, q and C will return to that buffer.
|
| Entry to view-mode runs the normal hook `view-mode-hook'.
