      I have no problems with small man pages. My problems with manpages arise when a command has hundreds of arguments and I need to find a very specific combination.

        Searching helps. Open a man page, press forward slash, type your arg, press Enter. Press “n” to get to the next hit or Shift+n to go to the previous.
