Are there any pagers that use emacs keybindings?

Question

Both more and less seem to be heavily influenced by the vi commands. Are there any pagers that are more emacs like out of the box?

Answer 1

less supports actually a subset of both vi and emacs commands. You should be able to add the ones you are missing using the lesskey command.

Answer 2

Not exactly a pager, but GNU Info uses the same bindings as Emacs.

Though I wonder why you would need a pager if you use Emacs…

Emacs can browse man pages with woman, you can « tail » a file with auto-revert-tail-mode.

Answer 3

I use this bash function to view files (from memory):

ev() {
  emacs "$1" -nw --eval '(setq buffer-read-only t)'
}

It opens the file $1 in a read only buffer.
I don't know the best way to set a bash function as a pager, I suppose you could put it in a shellscript instead and use that as pager instead.
