Good morning, I would like to implement the feature given in the title. I'm inspired by what Git (by default ?) and Mercurial (with Pager <https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/PagerExtension> extension activated) do.
I'd like to avoid typing "fossil <command> | less" everytime I notice it produces an output which doesn't fit in a single screen. Find below my ideas (in no particular order). Settings : 1. Add a new boolean setting "Paginates commands" (it is true by default) 2. Add a new string setting "pager-command" (it is empty by default) 3. Add a new string setting "Commands to paginate" (default value to be defined) If pager-command is empty then following pager command will be used: 1. "more" under Windows. 2. "less -FRSX" under any other OS. When Fossil writes something to its standard output, then it is sent through the pager if (and only if) all following conditions are met: 1. Fossil standard output is a real terminal. 2. "Paginates commands" setting is true. 3. Executed command is indicated in "Commands to paginate" setting. *Fossil standard error must not be paginated.* Now I'm waiting for your advices/improvements/feedbacks. For example: 1. Should the settings be versionnable ? 2. Which commands to be put by default in "Commands to paginate" ? Many thanks in advance for taking the time to participate.
