The bigger deal here for me is that when we rely on telling bat to use less --raw-control-characters --mouse
as a pager, it results in an imperfect experience if bat
has coloured the output.
So if I bat --pager="less --raw-control-characters--mouse" test.log
then bat
colour syntax highlights the log file, great, but less hates the input.
Worse, I believe bat
is good at letting the user search for text that bat knows is coloured and bat ignores the colour control characters, but when using less as a pager less does not ignore the control characters.
So I happen to think brining into bat
mouse handing could well be the best solution.
Hopefully a FOSS package can be leveraged to facilitate this?
