       I wish less would tell you how many lines you still had to go

       @thelinuxcast Something I've been doing forever, may not work for you, is to turn on line numbers with less -N <filename> and then typing capital G to go to the last line. Lowercase g brings me back to the first line.  Far from perfect but a workaround I picked up.

       @JayLittle @thelinuxcast Thanks to you two I started thinking there has to be a better way, so looked into it.  There's totally a better way!  Screen cap from my new method found on stackoverflow:

       @IronPipe @thelinuxcast Hmmmm so if I use less by providing it a file for input, this totally works.  However if I pipe content into it from something else, it doesn't work.  It will show me the line numbers for what I'm currently looking at, but it won't show me the total.I guess given the way pipes work, this makes sense.  Oh well - at least its somewhat better in some circumstances now.

       @JayLittle @thelinuxcast Yeah, by piping into less it doesn't know how long the file is.  Would probably have to use temp files, if that's an option, to get the full effect.
