Dear Community, please add the targets /usr/bin/pg (from sys-apps/util-linux), /usr/bin/w3m (from www-clients/w3m) and /bin/cat (from sys-apps/coreutils) to the pagers module of eselect. Currently only /bin/more and /usr/bin/less are available. /usr/bin/less is normally the best choice. However /usr/bin/pg has some nice functionality. /usr/bin/w3m is famous for its WWW capabilities. /bin/cat is for compatibility reasons (e.g. for ssh connections) and "/usr/bin/tee /var/log/pager" would allow writing a log file, e.g. for debugging reasons. /usr mari@spixxi ~ $ eselect pager list Available targets for the PAGER variable: [1] /bin/more [2] /usr/bin/less * [ ] (free form) Reproducible: Always
It's intentional that only the most common values are explicitly listed, see bug 190216 comment #2. You can use "eselect pager set pg" instead: # eselect pager set pg Setting PAGER to /usr/bin/pg ... Run ". /etc/profile" to update the variable in your shell. # eselect pager list Available targets for the PAGER variable: [1] /bin/more [2] /usr/bin/less [3] /usr/bin/pg * [ ] (free form)
