info-previous-page

Page up, or move to a previous node.

Info: <Backspace>

Use this command to page backward through the entire Info file one screenful at a time.

In detail, if a menu is above point, go to its closest item and then keep following the last item in the current node's menu until reaching one without a menu. Otherwise (if the current node has no menu above point), page up if possible. Otherwise move to this node's previous node, and then keep following the last item in the current node's menu until reaching one without a menu. Otherwise (if the original node had no previous node, or its previous node was the same as its up node), move to the original node's up node (but never to a different file).
