When I run info info, I get the following text at the top.

File: dir,      Node: Top,      This is the top of the INFO tree.

This is the Info main menu (aka directory node).
A few useful Info commands:

  'q' quits;
  '?' lists all Info commands;
  'h' starts the Info tutorial;
  'mTexinfo RET' visits the Texinfo manual, etc.

If I then type ?, I expect to see all the Info commands, but instead, I get the following at the bottom of my screen.

Regexp search backward:

How do I actually list all commands in info?

    @GAD3R, I'm using info 6.1 and it looks like H also does what I want. Thanks! – merlin2011 May 18 '18 at 08:59
  • @Kamaraj, Yes, I'm sure that Shift is pressed. On my keyboard, that's the only way to type ?. – merlin2011 May 18 '18 at 08:59
  • @GAD3R, Where did you find H? It looks like h takes me to the man info page, rather than a tutorial, so I'd like to know where the authoritative source is for our versions of info. – merlin2011 May 18 '18 at 09:01

    From the info info : 'H' lists all Info commands; – GAD3R May 18 '18 at 09:10
