# /more

Usage:

/MORE [OFF|ON]

Sets the value of the %{more} flag. If the %{more} flag is ON when the screen or output window fills up, output will stop, and a "More" prompt will be displayed. With the default keybindings, TAB will scroll one screenful, PgDn and PgUp will scroll a half screen forward or backward, ^[^N and ^[^P will scroll one line forward or backward, and ^[j will Jump to the last screenful.

Regardless of the setting of the %more flag, you can use "`/dokey pause`" (^S) at any time to pause the screen immediately, or use any of the scrolling commands to scroll backward and forward. After doing so, the "more" prompt will remain until you reach the bottom line again; after that point, newly displayed lines will obey the %more flag normally.

In visual mode, with the default status bar settings, the More prompt displays the number of old lines (i.e., how far you have scrolled backwards) and the number of new lines you haven't had a chance to see yet (i.e. lines that arrived since the More prompt first appeared). If you have not scrolled backwards, only the count of new lines is shown, so the More prompt looks the same as it would have in version 4.0. If either count would not fit in the space allotted to it in the More prompt, they may be displayed in units of thousands (e.g., "17523" would be shown as "17k").

Each socket and open world world has its own window with its own "more" state.

If your terminal can't scroll in visual mode, TF will start over at the top of the output window instead.
