pagedown = page-down

Arrayyou can use one of a-, alt-, m- or meta-. You can also use home, end, left, right etc. keys.

Mouse Support

Arraywheel-scroll etc. Mouse support is disabled by default, so you
need to enable it in ~/.gntrc (see the sample above).

Window Management

ArrayThere is a sample window-manager included (named s.so) which adds
a little 'close-button' for the windows, removes the borders from
the buddylist and pops up new windows in the middle of the
screen, instead of at the upper-left corder. It is provided as a
sample simple manager, but it should be possible to write more
complex managers, and it's very possible that the window-manager
API will need to be enhanced. Look at the sample ~/.gntrc file
above to see how to select a window-manager.
