Bug#944035: RFP: moar -- Easy text file viewer / pager similar to less



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : moar
  Version         : 0.9.9
  Upstream Author : Johan Walles <johan.walles@gmail.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/walles/moar
* License         : BSD-2-Clause
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description     : Easy text file viewer / pager similar to less

Moar is a text file viewer / pager designed to be nice out of the box.

Related features:

* Syntax highlight source code by default if Highlight is installed.

* Search is incremental / find-as-you-type just like in Chrome or Emacs

* Search becomes case sensitive if you add any UPPER CASE characters to your search terms, just like in Emacs

* Regexp search if your search string is a valid regexp

* Displays ANSI color coded texts (like the output from git diff for example)

* Displays man pages

* Supports UTF-8 input and output

* The position in the file is always shown

Also, for compatibility reasons, moar uses the formats declared in these environment variables when viewing man pages:

* LESS_TERMCAP_md: ANSI escape sequence for bold text

* LESS_TERMCAP_us: ANSI escape sequence for underlined text
