    I vaguely remember someone made a patch to add blank line(s)
somewhere: You might want to search the archives and experiment.

    Right: Not directly. But toggle or even cycle behaviour can be
achieved with a set of macros, like the ROT13 feature by David T-G. It
appears to "toggle" $display_filter, so it's a very good example:

| macro pager ,@r13on "<enter-command>set display_filter=/usr/local/bin/rot13 ;\
|       macro pager \\er ,@r13off 'Toggle ROT13 decoding'\
|       <Enter><exit><display-message>"
|
| macro pager ,@r13off "<enter-command>unset display_filter ;\
|       macro pager \\er ,@r13on 'Toggle ROT13 decoding'\
|       <Enter><exit><display-message>"
|
| macro pager \er ,@r13on 'Toggle ROT13 decoding'

    User types only <Esc>r with toggle effect: Nice, isn't it?


Bye!    Alain.
