How to scroll up in man?

To scroll up while viewing a man page in the terminal, you can use the following keys:

  • PageUp: Scrolls backward (up) one full screen.
  • Up Arrow: Scrolls backward (up) one line at a time.
  • U: Scrolls backward (up) one half-screen.
  • G: Pressing the capital letter G (or Shift+G) takes you to the end, but pressing a lowercase g (or 1G) will jump you back to the very top (start) of the page.

Try it out: If you are currently in the man free page:

  1. Press the Up Arrow key a few times to move line by line.
  2. Press PageUp to jump up a full section.
  3. Press Q when you are ready to exit.

Happy learning! I'm here if you need more help with navigation.
