False.
M-x set-variable scroll-step 1
I just discovered this in the info manual, which is BTW not 'info
info', but 'info info-stnd'. ('info info' gives only documents a small
portion of the keystrokes. I have a feeling it's intended to be the
documentation of the Emacs info mode.) How is a new info user supposed
to discover this?
Note that this issue is recored in bug #78504, which has been open
for two years and forwarded to the upstream developers. Apparantly,
neither knew about this option.
Another useful options is: 'M-x set-variable automatic-footnotes off'
(to keep unwanted footnote windows away)
Unfortunately, info doesn't seem to have any config file, so you'll have
to type these everytime you start the damn thing.
Mvg,
