            Bug ID: 282734
           Summary: top(1) manpage lists ^L as refresh command, but SPC is
                    the actual command
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ellisgen@gmail.com

The manual page states the following in the INTERACTIVE MODE section:
---
These commands are currently recognized (^L refers to control-L):

       ^L      Redraw the screen.
---

I don't think this is correct. When I attempt control + L the program responds
with an unrecognized command message.

Reading through the source and the help within the program, it appears that ^L
was replaced with SPC at some point in the past. If this is the case, the man
page could be updated like so:

---
These commands are currently recognized:

       SPC      Redraw the screen.
