Yes, but I never run zless, preferring instead to run less directly: $ less /usr/share/doc/linux-image-6.12.115+deb13.1-amd64/changelog.gz This works because I have: [ -x /usr/bin/lesspipe ] && eval "$(lesspipe)" near the beginning of my ~/.bashrc file. Just FYI, I follow that with: export LESS='iqsMPM?f%f .?n?m(%i/%m) ..?ltll\.%lt-%lb?L/%L.?c>%c. byte%bt-%bB?B/%B..?e end:?pB %pB\%..%t' export APT_PAGER='less -Riqs' Cheers, David.
