I just tested Firefox. SPC scrolls forward and S-SPC backward - unless you are on a button (like a normal button, checkbox or radiobutton). In that case SPC "clicks" the button.A common use of SPC (web browsers, w32 programs) is to "push the button" when keyboard focus is on the button. I think that would be better - at least when focus is on a button.Thats in dialogs (not browser windows e.g.), and there I always use ENTER for pushing buttons. I do that in custom buffers too.
Perhaps info mode was made to mimic less :-).
I did use less for a long time until I found a good editor...
Firefox decided do as less for SPC but not for BSPC as far as I understand. I like the ability to be able to scroll forward with SPC. The only thing I am suggesting is that this behaviour should perhaps be changed when point is on a button. However this is by no means a big thing.Must we always go the windows gui route? Being able to use the left mouse to push buttons is a good change, but I prefer to retain the unixy less-like behaviour for scrolling around in read only buffers.
