@derek I just assume there's a '-h' or '--help' for it; After that, my levels of annoyed gets increased.

@duckhp @derek After distrotube opened my eyes to tldr, that became 90% of what I needed.

@thegeekfather @derek speaking of less.. While using tmux quite a bit; I've become accustomed to using:$ <somecommand> --help | lessIt beats tmux pane scrolling

@derek Thanks for sharing the #lbry link to the video. I do like that better than yt links (though I copy them just into a file which later is processed by #youtube-dl).It seems the iframe is not displayed correctly on mastodon, though. But the vanilla link should work anyway, I guess. I just try it here.https://lbry.tv/$/embed/read-manpages-with-less-bat-vim-or/b1882210278f39652ac60dec6f1fe939c5f29d3d?r=6APe7PNDEiNYw1cHdCJzgE1qGDJxSVnJNever thought about using #vim as my #manpage pager, but it is a good idea.

@derek I sometimes like to turn a man page into a pdf with ghostscript.Here's the function.pdfify() # convert man pages to pdf and open the pdf file{ man -t $1 | ps2pdf - $1.pdf && setsid xdg-open $1.pdf &> /dev/null }

@derek Do the 'iframe' tags do anything on Mastodon?

@derek I'm going to have to find your video on Neovim then cause I've never used it and have no idea why it's better than vim.

@derek I've wrote a bash script that searches the specified manpage for the specified words.
