Console’s review
· Reviewed by David Mytton
What we like
Replaces less, more, or tail -f with more features for parsing text - section delimiters, search, mark position, color highlights, and parsing of columnar text. Mouse support with proper select + copy to clipboard. Keyboard shortcuts. Guides for replacing the pager in other CLIs e.g. psql, git, mysql, procs.
Tradeoffs
Reads the entire file into memory. Default keybindings are different from less, so if you rely on them it’s not a drop-in replacement.
