Can I use Kakoune as a pager ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -. +Kakoune can be used as a pager, either by setting the `EDITOR` environment +variable to `kak`, or by writing data directly to its standard input using a +shell pipeline. However, since the program relies on several heavy dynamic +libraries (`boost` being one of them), it will be slightly less pratical +than other regular pagers (such as `less` or `more`) which have a minimal +amount of runtime dependencies.
