I don't know what bat currently uses for paging (looks like less maybe) but it proposes two main problems. First is cross-compatiblity, bat cannot be packaged for Windows and requires less (which requires Mingw) to be installed. Second is less is binary and it's use as a library is not very perfect solution. These are the main problem minus solved. It's a pure rust library for paging output in a terminal. It provides great customisation of output which also being very compact

I wanted to know whether the bat team could implement this pager inside bat
