Is there a way to get the information in this link (it's an index with all (?) the keywords) a and within the first level links in the command line with something like man or help?
You can access exactly the same documentation (including "clickable links") via info bash.
So info bash -> select "Indexes" and then -> "Reserved Word Index".
Just for your information (in case you never used info pages): search with Ctrl-s, go up with u and quit with q, that should be enough for start; info info will give you full description.

Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. It doesn't seem like I do, but I seeinfo lsfine. In fact, for all but Bash I seeinfoas am I supposed to. – alias Apr 7 '19 at 21:43 -

man bash? There is a section inman bashthat lists reserved words. There are other sections explaining each one of them. – John1024 Apr 7 '19 at 18:25man bash, but I can't find a way to get to the details without knowing where they are a priori. – alias Apr 7 '19 at 18:28man bashis typically displayed withlesswhich has powerful search features. For example, openman bashand type/reservedand press <ENTER> and you will come to the list of reserved words. (You may want to read a tutorial onlessto understand its many powerful features.) – John1024 Apr 7 '19 at 18:33help. At the command prompt just typehelp, then press space-bar once, then press <tab><tab> and you'll see all the reserved words available in your Bash and select (by typing) the one you want to have the help on. Suchhelpis not detailed as the man-page, though. For that, I suppose you can just use the very website you linked ? or why not ? – LL3 Apr 7 '19 at 18:36
