alias less=‘moar’
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.
more only if less is not available
tail -f of vim
Depends…
Most!
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.
Neither, bat or neovim.
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
highlight
tool 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.
Less, but actually bat
I use bat sometimes, but how do you stop it from wrapping lines?
I use bat sometimes, but how do you stop it from wrapping lines?
$ cat ~/.config/bat/config --wrap=never
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!
$ cat ~/.config/bat/config
The irony.
Isn’t more like the main driver for our prospering civilization?
Some might say that the shift in desiring less is the downward path for the over-saturated humanity.
But lets not get too deep here.
More
Less. If its a small file i use cat. If i want the top head and tail for the bottom for a specific thing i use grep
I feel like more punctuation was called for here. /s
Been using Less for so long…
Forgot More existed. 🤷♂️
I thought Less is More?
But because it comes first that is what I usually use.
I use less always, and am genuinely puzzled by people who use more
Old habits die hard? I used to administer old SunOS machines that didn’t have less (and would take considerable effort to install on all of the machines) so these days I just alias more to less
