About:
Most is a terminal-based paging program that displays text files or standard input one screen at a time. Unlike standard pagers like less or more, it supports multiple virtual windows and can scroll horizontally, making it ideal for viewing wide output. It offers a robust set of navigation keys and configuration options for power users.

Key Features:

Multiple virtual window support
Horizontal and vertical scrolling
Customizable color configuration
Efficient handling of large files

Use Cases:

Viewing wide log files or output that doesn't fit standard terminal width
Monitoring multiple text streams in split-screen mode
Reading documentation or code files with complex formatting

Alternatives:

less – Standard pager with wide availability but fewer advanced features
more – Basic pager with minimal functionality
vim – Full editor with more overhead but greater capabilities
