 The displayed text of a buffer can be narrowed with the commands (start with
 ~n~):
 
-| Key binding | Description                               |
-|-------------+-------------------------------------------|
-| ~SPC n f~   | narrow the buffer to the current function |
-| ~SPC n p~   | narrow the buffer to the visible page     |
-| ~SPC n r~   | narrow the buffer to the selected text    |
-| ~SPC n w~   | widen, i.e. show the whole buffer again   |

+Narrowing in an indirect buffer overcomes the problem that a buffer can only be
+narrowed in one place at a given time.
