Question

When I use more, most commonly through help, there are certain keys that do special things (q ends the more command, Enter scrolls down etc.).

Is there a way in PowerShell itself to get help on these keys or do I need to Google it up?

Answer 1

more in Powerhsell is just a function with following definition:

param([string[]]$paths)
$OutputEncoding = [System.Console]::OutputEncoding

if($paths)
{
    foreach ($file in $paths)
    {
        Get-Content $file | more.com
    }
}
else
{
    $input | more.com
}

So at the command line, you should be able to do more.com /? and see help, with the following text in it, which is what you are looking for:

If extended features are enabled, the following commands
are accepted at the -- More -- prompt:

P n     Display next n lines
S n     Skip next n lines
F       Display next file
Q       Quit
=       Show line number
?       Show help line
<space> Display next page
<ret>   Display next line
