info: are there vim controls for the info pages?

Question

info foo

Next, I am in a foo page with links navigated by enter and arrow keys. Are there vim keymap settings for this?

There are, info has this option:

--vi-keys
              use vi-like and less-like key bindings.

so your command for foo is

info --vi-keys foo

The default vi-like bindings are really unsatisfactory, this should be tweaked using an .infokey file (info info infokey !) – Hugo Raguet Jan 14 '21 at 11:13
or simply use vim ;) – xeruf May 29 '22 at 23:20

If you want to make @Tagwint 's solution more systematic, you may add an alias like this in your .bashrc, .zshrc, or whichever configuration file sourced by your environment:

alias info='info --vi-keys'
