Xpager function

Separate terminal pager for Linux

Separate terminal pager for Linux

Separate terminal pager for Linux X11 (uses some terminal and 'less')

Xpager(pager="xterm")

Arguments

  • pager: name of the terminal application to use, or "old" for the default

Details

Linux pager in the new terminal window. 'xterm' is default, there is also setting for 'mate-terminal'; 'konsole' (KDE terminal) and 'gnome-terminal' are easy to add.

Run Xpager("old") to restore default behavior.

BTW, for some reason, 'editor()' does not work this way.
