Maybe 'it' refers to all of the different programs that all
more-or-less use the same set of "vi" commands.
You might want to read "man less" and look at the "-w" option.
-w or --hilite-unread
Temporarily highlights the first "new" line after a forward
movement of a full page. The first "new" line is the line
immediately following the line previously at the bottom of the
screen. Also highlights the target line after a g or p com-
mand. The highlight is removed at the next command which
causes movement. The entire line is highlighted, unless the -J
option is in effect, in which case only the status column is
highlighted.
