Re: :ls -> b+f d+u g+G

i always just used space+quit. o_O
now that i know there are more commands
i typed 'w' and get this prompt:

"-- More -- SPACE/d/j: screen/page/line down, b/u/k: up, q: quit"

summary: ":ls" paging commands:
b+f back/forth one full page
d+u down/up one half page
g+G goto/Goto beginning/end

nice - very helpful! thanks, guys!

i obviously havent read the list of flags before. ":ls t" is great!

is there aby way to make vim show the list with the
date+time *before* the kraut-lang long filename?

example:

buf flags date time filename
23 a+ 2020-12-06 23:42:05 "/home/www/guckes/public_html/bash/bash.readline.txt"

oh.. and abbreviating prefixes like "/home/www/guckes/public_html" would be useful, too. :)
(hmm.. symlinks? hardlinks?)
