### 2.3 `g` goes to a node by name

If you know a node's name, you can go there by typing `g`, the name, and <RET>. Thus, `gTop<RET>` would go to the node called ‘`Top`’ in this file. (This is equivalent to `t`, see Help-Int.) `gGo to node<RET>` would come back here.

Unlike `m`, `g` does not allow the use of abbreviations. But it does allow completion, so you can type <TAB> to complete a partial node name.

To go to a node in another file, you can include the file name in the node name by putting it at the front, in parentheses. Thus, `g(dir)Top<RET>` would go to the Info Directory node, which is the node ‘`Top`’ in the Info file `dir`. Likewise, `g(emacs)Top<RET>` goes to the top node of the Emacs manual.

The node name ‘`*`’ specifies the whole file. So you can look at all of the current file by typing `g*<RET>` or all of any other file with `g(`filename`)*<RET>`.
