Navigating large directories in `rclone ncdu`

How to navigate large directories in rclone ncdu?

I use j,k (↑,↓) to scroll through objects line by line. It takes a while to get to the right objects. I checked the ? help menu and the rclone ncdu docs. I can manage relevant files with flags --filter, --include and --exclude. But scrolling is more convenient in some cases.

Is there faster navigation in rclone ncdu? Something similar to screen scroll (C-d/C-u in Vim) or go to line # command?

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Scrolling through large directories with j and k takes a lot of time

A log from the command that you were trying to run with the -vv flag

$ rclone ncdu -vv myproject:mybucket/dist

not sure how it is mapped in Linux but simple PageUp/Down or Fn+ ↑/↓ works on macOS
