Description

This is a port of xless (version 1.7), a handy text file viewer for X. Useful as a viewer tool for other apps (e.g., xfm, the X file manager), or as a standalone viewer. Presents a scrollable text window (both vertical and horizontal scrolling), with a number of clickable buttons.

FEATURES:

Display either the file(s) specified on the command line or input from standard input, supplied by a pipe. File/pipe may be optionally monitored so that the display is continuously updated as new text is added. Display new files in the current window or by creating a new window. Reload or print the displayed file. Search the displayed file using either exact, case-insensitive, or regular expression patterns. Edit the displayed file with your favorite editor (as specified in the VISUAL or EDITOR environment variable)
