more Command Generator
Generate more commands to page through files
Getting Started with more
## What is more?
`more` is a classic file perusal filter — a pager that displays a file one screen at a time. It is simpler and older than `less`: it moves forward through the file and supports a basic set of commands. It remains useful for quick peeks at READMEs and on minimal systems where less is not installed.
## How to Use
1. **Set Options**: Toggle the helpful prompt, squeeze blank lines, clean-screen mode, etc. 2. **Specify File**: Enter the path of the file to view (or pipe output in). 3. **Copy & Run**: Paste the generated command into your terminal.
Inside more: press `Space` to advance a page, `Enter` for one line, `q` to quit, `/` to search forward.
Common Options
### `-d` Helpful prompt Display a `[Press space to continue, q to quit.]` prompt instead of blinking on invalid keys — friendlier for new users.
### `-s` Squeeze blank lines Collapse runs of consecutive blank lines into a single blank line, making patched logs easier to scan.
### `-p` Clean screen Clear each screen before drawing instead of scrolling — produces a cleaner, flicker-free display on some terminals.
### `-l` No pause on form-feed Do not pause after a `^L` (form-feed) character, which is useful when viewing files that use form-feeds as separators.
### `-f` Count logical lines Count logical (wrapped) lines rather than screen lines — affects scrolling when long lines wrap.
### `-u` Suppress underlining Disable the backspace-based underlining trick used by some formatted files.
