πŸ’– Reply::...:Pager πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is Reply::Plugin::Pager, a plugin from the Reply fam (you know, the Perl REPL that eats) β€” it's a command that automatically opens long results in a pager. yes, like less. no cap. πŸ¦‹

version 0.42 ✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

drop this in your .replyrc:

; .replyrc
[Pager]
pager = less

that's it. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’…


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, bestie: this plugin is literally watching when your expression is about to dump wayyyyy too much output onto the screen. and instead of just letting it flood your terminal like a broken fire hydrant 😭, it goes "not today" and automatically loads the result into a pager instead. iconic behavior, honestly. πŸ‘‘

if you wanna pick a specific pager, you set the pager option and it'll use that one. if you don't? no worries, it just falls back to whatever's chillin' in $ENV{PAGER}. so like, it always has a plan. main character energy fr fr. πŸŽ€
