Yes, I also liked the old Konqueror interface. Searching for keywords e.g. |
| 34 |
"progress" within man pages works if you preface the keyword with "/": |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
/progress |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
will find it and "n" or "Shift+n" will jump forward and backward to any other |
| 39 |
instances in the man page. |
