Commited in 19ce777. Thanks!

I changed the text for 'n' and 'N' to 'Repeat search in forward direction' and 'Repeat search in backward direction' respectively, as I think 'previous search result' can be a little misleading.

I also noticed that the copy section does not include the 'N'/'n' commands.

Also, in the display list, you can press 'd' (or 'D') to detach (or power-detach) a selected display.

hints all over the place

The attached patch adds documentation about navigating in windowlists. For this case I chose to separately list the bindings as there wasn't a section on "standard movement keys", unless you count what was in the Copy and Paste section (in the texinfo manual). Currently under windowlist, there's a reference to the keybindings in copymode that implies in my opinion that those bindings are standard across the entire 'screen' application. The problem I had with this is that there were keybindings in copy mode that don't exist in windowlist (and of course, vise versa). It's quite possible to create a top-level chapter on what bindings are universal and then only include the extra bindings to those sections that have them, but I just didn't go that route.

Comments are welcomed.
