<p>The following table lists the Info commands which operate on menu items.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt id='index-1-_2026-9_002c-in-Info-windows'><span><kbd>1</kbd> (<code>menu-digit</code>)<a href='#index-1-_2026-9_002c-in-Info-windows' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dt><span><kbd>2</kbd> … <kbd>9</kbd></span></dt>
<dt><span><kbd>M-1</kbd>, vi-like operation</span></dt>
<dt><span><kbd>M-2</kbd> … <kbd>M-9</kbd>, vi-like operation</span></dt>
<dd><span id="index-M_002d1-_2026-M_002d9_002c-vi_002dlike-operation"></span>
<span id="index-1-_2026-9_002c-in-Info-windows-1"></span>
<span id="index-M_002d1-_2026-M_002d9_002c-vi_002dlike-operation-1"></span>
<span id="index-menu_002ddigit"></span>
<p>Within an Info window, pressing a single digit, (such as ‘<samp>1</samp>’),
selects that menu item, and places its node in the current window.
For convenience, there is one exception; pressing ‘<samp>0</samp>’ selects the
<em>last</em> item in the node’s menu. When ‘<samp>--vi-keys</samp>’ is in
effect, digits set the numeric argument, so these commands are remapped
to their ‘<samp>M-</samp>’ varieties. For example, to select the last menu
item, press <kbd>M-0</kbd>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-0_002c-in-Info-windows'><span><kbd>0</kbd> (<code>last-menu-item</code>)<a href='#index-0_002c-in-Info-windows' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dt><span><kbd>M-0</kbd>, vi-like operation</span></dt>
<dd><span id="index-M_002d0_002c-vi_002dlike-operation"></span>
<span id="index-last_002dmenu_002ditem"></span>
<p>Select the last item in the current node’s menu.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-m'><span><kbd>m</kbd> (<code>menu-item</code>)<a href='#index-m' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dd><span id="index-menu_002ditem"></span>
<p>Reads the name of a menu item in the echo area and selects its node.
Completion is available while reading the menu label. See <a href="The-Echo-Area.html">completion</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-find_002dmenu'><span><kbd>M-x find-menu</kbd><a href='#index-find_002dmenu' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dd><p>Move the cursor to the start of this node’s menu.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>This table lists the Info commands which operate on cross-references.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt id='index-f'><span><kbd>f</kbd> (<code>xref-item</code>)<a href='#index-f' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dt><span><kbd>r</kbd></span></dt>
<dd><span id="index-r"></span>
<span id="index-xref_002ditem"></span>
<p>Reads the name of a note cross-reference in the echo area and selects
its node. Completion is available while reading the cross-reference
label. See <a href="The-Echo-Area.html">completion</a>.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Finally, the next few commands operate on menu or note references alike:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt id='index-TAB_002c-in-Info-windows'><span><tt class="key">TAB</tt> (<code>move-to-next-xref</code>)<a href='#index-TAB_002c-in-Info-windows' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dd><span id="index-move_002dto_002dnext_002dxref"></span>
<p>Move the cursor to the start of the next nearest menu item or note
reference in this node. You can then use <tt class="key">RET</tt>
(<code>select-reference-this-line</code>) to select the menu or note reference.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-M_002dTAB_002c-in-Info-windows'><span><kbd>M-TAB</kbd> (<code>move-to-prev-xref</code>)<a href='#index-M_002dTAB_002c-in-Info-windows' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dt><span><kbd>BackTab</kbd></span></dt>
<dt><span><kbd>Shift-<span class="key">TAB</span></kbd> (on DOS/Windows only)</span></dt>
<dd><span id="index-move_002dto_002dprev_002dxref"></span>
<p>Move the cursor the start of the nearest previous menu item or note
reference in this node.
</p>
<span id="index-Shift_002dTAB_002c-in-Info-windows"></span>
<span id="index-BackTab_002c-in-Info-windows"></span>
<p>The <kbd>BackTab</kbd> key can be produced on some terminals with
<kbd>Shift-<span class="key">TAB</span></kbd>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt id='index-RET_002c-in-Info-windows'><span><tt class="key">RET</tt> (<code>select-reference-this-line</code>)<a href='#index-RET_002c-in-Info-windows' class='copiable-anchor'> ¶</a></span></dt>
<dd><span id="index-select_002dreference_002dthis_002dline"></span>
<p>Select the menu item or note reference appearing on this line.
</p></dd>
