neovim and less
Hi all,
Neovim and/or less are not performing as I would like in one regard:
when invoked from nvim ex prompt the pager goes directly to the end of
input. Thanks for any help.
Details:
Issuing a ex command like
:! perldoc -f close
or
:! cat some_file | less
brings me directly to the end of the file output, leaving me with
the nvim message:
Press ENTER or type command to continue
requiring me to navigate to the start of the output. Less does not
do this when invoked from bash.
