Thank you for the feedback. I'm aware of xiki but I'm not a user. I'll checkout the screencasts to see if there are some ideas that I can borrow.
Regarding the pager behavior, I'm currently planning to use 'less -RXF' for all output. I can make it customizable via the config file. I can see what \G does with the vertical output, but I don't understand what is the purpose of \g, isn't that the same as using semi-colon? Good point about '#'. I am planning to add every command to the history so it will be available when you use up/down arrows. Cheers!
