I use more because I learned more first. Now it’s in muscle memory, so I won’t change anytime soon.
bat.
It’s said that less is more but I more or less use less more than more.
This would fit in perfectly in Dr Suess’ Hop on pop
I both understood that sentence perfectly and sounded like a crazy person while reading it out loud.
I like that more behaves like cat when there’s less than a page of output rather than requiring you to press
qto get back to the prompt even when it would just fit.There’s probably a way to make less do that too, but more already does it without configuration. Overall I use less most of the time but I like having the option.
LESSOPEN='| highlight --line-numbers -qs candy --out-format=xterm256 --stdout -i %s'is that an alias or a sys env?
Sys env. It adds syntax highlighting to less. Needs the
highlighttool of course, there are others.oh, it literally pipes into another tool! I thought that vertical bar was a config option for less lmao
Yeah, less is weird there with needing the pipe.
I use a teletype. My scrollback is INFINITE.
your buffer size must exceed several floppies!
Been using Less for so long…
Forgot More existed. 🤷♂️
I don’t know why anyone would use more when less is more with more features.
Less, but actually bat
I use bat sometimes, but how do you stop it from wrapping lines?

$ cat ~/.config/bat/config --wrap=never$ cat ~/.config/bat/config
The irony.
You dropped your friggin’
in another thread and I just stepped on it. Pain like Lego.I ain’t got no time for no config! I’m a busy man!
alias more=lessGodless heathen here.
At least I use
bash!Yes?
tail -f of vim
Neither, bat or neovim.
I’m not sure if I’ve used more in the last 25 years. And when I did I think it was in MS-DOS.
“less”. If its a small file i use cat. If i want the top I use “head” or "tail’ for the bottom. For a specific string i use “grep”
I feel like more punctuation was called for here. /s
less or bat, but I usually use by paging up and down so it’s not that different from more… My terminal emulator only pages up and down, I like it that way.
