  1. https://github.com/noborus/ov is another pager, in addition to `moor` that somebody else shared.

  2. I like less and found that https://github.com/noborus/ov can be a good modern alternative to it.

  3. I'd recommend ov for Windows users. https://github.com/noborus/ov bat on Windows does page, but I believe it's only available on Choco and not winget.
  4. …flag to specify the location[1] but I agree it should be in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME by default. [1] https://github.com/noborus/ov/blob/master/main.go#L207
  5. …if it can't handle large (larger than available memory, that is) files [0], it's not a pager. [0] https://github.com/noborus/ov/issues/201
