This is not just for online viewing, these markdown documents are also
made available in the CLI itself from admin-exec as:
help [introduction | keybindings | tutorial]
With this commit we also add lowdown and the real less application to
be the Infix help system.

Writing CLI commands by hand is very tedious. To make things easier the CLI has several keybindings, most significant first:
| Key | Cmd/Key | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TAB | Complete current command, see below for example | |
| ? | Show available commands, or arguments, with help | |
| Ctrl-c | Cancel everything on current line | |
| Ctrl-d | abort |
Abort context, exit in admin-exec |
| Ctrl-z | leave |
Leave and activate changes in configure context |
| Ctrl-f | Right arrow | Move cursor forward one character |
| Ctrl-b | Left arrow | Move cursor back one character |
| Alt-f | Ctrl-Right | Move cursor forward one word |
| Alt-b | Ctrl-Left | Move cursor back one word |
| Ctrl-e | End | Move cursor to end of line |
| Ctrl-a | Home | Move cursor to beginning of line |
| Ctrl-k | Kill (cut) text from cursor to end of line | |
| Ctrl-u | Delete (cut) entire line | |
| Ctrl-y | Yank (paste) from kill buffer to cursor | |
| Ctrl-w | Alt-Backspace | Delete (cut) word to the left |
| Alt-Delete | Delete (cut) word to the right | |
Note: the Alt key on your keyboard may also be called Meta. If you have neither, first tap the Esc key instead of holding down Alt/Meta.
Examples
Complete a word. Start by typing a few characters, then tap the TAB key on your keyboard:
conf<TAB> --> configure
See possible arguments, with brief help text, to a command:
show ?
Type the command, then tap the ? key.
