The '/' key starts a string search. Type the search string and press Enter.This is a great tip! I was struggling with 'man rsync' just yesterday and could have used this since the man pages are so long and detailed, yet unsearchable in a terminal session.
Using the terminal is an art, kind of like calligraphy. It shouldn't be too upsetting not being great at using it these days for the same reason people aren't upset that they don't know how to churn butter or make their own powdered wigs, either. 40 years ago terminals were all there were and so things like pressing '/' to search or moving around with h, j, k, and l were necessary skills to have to function. I'm happier that you've shown me that man content can be piped to Firefox more than I'd be sad you weren't stuck in an 80x25 monochrome window.Somebody told me if I knew how to properly use a terminal I wouldn't have to open the man's in a browser to read, search, and scroll while I was figuring this out. lol, oh well. I'm happy for now!
