bat

Didn't know that! I tried it and it doesn't work for me, sadly. Test case: `seq 1 100 | bat --pager=builtin` Result: immediate exit, no output printed at all. https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/issues/1053

bat does not look like a pager: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat?tab=readme-ov-file#automatic-...

bat is the king of pagers. https://github.com/sharkdp/bat

Give this a shot https://github.com/sharkdp/bat But in all seriousness I’m interested in knowing the answer to this too, just out of sheer curiosity.

I would guess a phone is way too small for side by side diffs, and a simple `git diff` would probably be more useful. If you want better syntax highlighting you could setup bat[0] as your difftool. If you insist on a side-by-side view (neo)vim has a diff mode with the -d flag. It is also possible to setup as the difftool that git uses. [0]: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat

You can still pipe bat output as it falls back to unformated output when it detects a non-interactive terminal. https://github.com/sharkdp/bat?tab=readme-ov-file#file-conca...

For me, this simple tools is the single best command line changer! Instead of a lot of commands to traverse the folder tree, I jump where and when I want. Other nice tools I use: Fish for shell (https://fishshell.com/), Starship for prompt (https://starship.rs/), bat "a cat with wings" for file preview (https://github.com/sharkdp/bat).

“bat” is a pretty good modern “cat” https://github.com/sharkdp/bat

> Both already possible, they have official symbols representing them. I'm not sure what you mean. For an illustration, my terminal does not print anything for them. $ printf "qq\36\37text\n" qqtext *Update/Aside:* "My terminal", in this case, was `tmux`. Ghostty, OTOH, prints spaces instead of RS or US. Unicode does have some symbols for every non-printable ASCII character, which you can see as follows with https://github.com/sharkdp/bat (assuming your font has the right characters, which it probably does): $ printf "qq\36\37text\n" | bat -A --decorations never qq␞␟text␊ Here, `␞` is https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+241E, one of the symbols for non-printable characters that Unicode has; different fonts display it differently. See also https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/block/U+2400. Is there some better representati

What do you prefer about that? I already use bat for syntax highlighting but haven't used it as a pager. Edit: Oh! That's pretty. Details are at https://github.com/sharkdp/bat?tab=readme-ov-file#man

I page man (and many other things) through bat[0] which improves my experience. [0]: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat
