Not sure if this is a vim or fireplace thing but say I open a big file with slurp it takes me to a buffer and at the bottom it says -- More -- I can't escape out of this. C-c does nothing. C-d gives me a small menu option, including q: quit but that does nothing either. I have to just keep pressing enter for more until it's done. What am I doing wrong here?

vim thing

@chase-lambert See :help more-prompt

You could :set nomore

which I find to be a funny option name 😁

Hmm, q maybe doesn't work anymore due to streaming? It did at some point

G works too, which is something I use often.

Apparently <C-Y> will do something to yank it, interesting, gotta try that one

Ahh, G of course. That will work fine. Thank you!

haha wow - after years at the command line, it baffled me to see that someone wouldn't know what to do at a -- More -- prompt

but of course if you've never seen one, it's totally bizarre

(back in the day, less didn't exist, and the more pager only accepted space / G / etc. and didn't understand arrow keys)

it also couldn't scroll up lol

And I use G all the time, even in the browser with vimium. lol

also space scrolls a page, even in a browser

It still seems inefficient to send the cursor all the way to the bottom to let me exit instead of having q work

agreed

q is supposed to work, I suspect there's something else at play.
