It might be nice to provide settings for use of the pager and colors in the user’s global configuration file, something like

pager = "always|auto|never"
colors = "always|auto|never"

with auto corresponding to current behavior and being the default. We could also let users set a pager of their choice, defaulting to the current less -Fr.

I realize this is pretty niche, but on the other hand it should be simple to do, too.

Thanks! This could indeed be useful sometimes, it is fixed in #5BB266P6HPUGYEVR7QNNOA62EFPYPUYJ3UMLE5J3LLYMSUWXANIQC.
