I agree with this, leave the message as is. >> I'm actually not sure if adding "f" to go a screen down is helpful. > > For me at least it is. "f" is more universal, I'm used to use f in > less/man and Ctrl-F in Vim.

It definitely is helpful, both for symmetry with other vim commands (<C-f> and <C-b> in normal mode, for instance), and for symmetry with other programs. Less to learn is always a nice thing. And, given that <space> leaves the more prompt (and no one will want that to change), this does provide a nice alternative. I'm definitely in favor of this change. > Also, my SPACE key makes more noise :) :-) ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
