Hi .

I would like to swap the effect of <space> and next (PgDn) in info, the gnu
texinfo standalone reader; below is my .infokey source file.
Then I do from the shell

$ infokey

this compiles the small ~/.info binary as it should, but when I start

$ info

only the var adjustments  automatic-footnotes=Off visible-bell=On
seem to take effect, the key bindings seem to remain the default ones.
Surprisingly, if instead of the PgDn key

\kD     scroll-forward


I try to rebind the 'a' key

a       scroll-forward

then the adjustment succeeds and  a  scrolls down

What is wrong?

Thank you
