wdb Working on my unix-driven PC, I frequently read the man pages. The default pager less is too rustical for my taste, with pager tkman or xman, it's too much blown up (whenever I need help, I'm seriously in hurry ;-).
So, I took the easiest solution: write my own pager in tkpager.tcl:
#!/usr/bin/tclkit package require Tk bind winfo class . <Destroy> exit pack [text .t -font TkFixedFont -yscrollcommand [list .s set]\ -expand yes -fill both -side left pack scrollbar .s -command ".t yview"\ -fill both -side left apply {{} { while {!eof stdin} { .t insert end "[regsub -all {.\b} [gets stdin] {}]\n" } }}
Then, the script tman calls man with pager tkpager.tcl (care that both is in search path and executable):
man -P tkpager.tcl $1 &
That's all.
