About:
Nvimpager is a command-line pager that leverages NeoVim's advanced display capabilities to render terminal output. It allows users to view manpages, diffs, logs, and other text streams with full syntax highlighting, color support, and mouse-driven scrolling. This provides a more readable and interactive viewing experience compared to standard pagers like less.
Key Features:
  • Syntax highlighting for various file types
  • Full mouse support for scrolling and navigation
  • Uses NeoVim's split windows for multi-file viewing
  • Preserves NeoVim's editing features (e.g., search, marks)
Use Cases:
  • Reading manpages with enhanced syntax highlighting
  • Viewing git diffs with color-coded changes
  • Monitoring and reading long log files interactively
Alternatives:
  • less – Standard pager with basic features; lacks advanced syntax highlighting and mouse integration.
  • bat – Excellent for syntax highlighting but primarily a file cat tool, not a full interactive pager.
  • most – A pager with split windows and color support, but does not leverage the NeoVim ecosystem.
