Here is what works for me -- just two steps:
1. Put this near the top of your ~/.vimrc on the remote host.
That's two single quotes ('') which means to reset it to empty
so Vim won't try to call itself if you follow links inside of one
man page to another:
let $PAGER=''
2. Add this to your ~/.bashrc on the remote host
(or add to whatever Bourne family shell rc file you use).
Be sure that you don't have PAGER defined anywhere else:
export PAGER="/bin/sh -c \"unset PAGER;col -b -x | \
vim -R -c 'set ft=man nomod nolist' -c 'map q :q<CR>' \
-c 'map <SPACE> <C-D>' -c 'map b <C-U>' \
-c 'nmap K :Man <C-R>=expand(\\\"<cword>\\\")<CR><CR>' -\""
After following this there are some unresolved issues:
For example:
1) gcc [-câ-Sâ-E] [-std=standard]: The distorted character should have been a
|.
2) WHEN may be âneverâ: The distorted character should have been '.
Can we deal with them and correct them?
