Short options -P and -pp do not take precedence over --paging=always set in ~/.config/bat/config #2128

Description

@lucatrv

Describe the bug you encountered:

I set --paging=always in my ~/.config/bat/config file. Then I can turn paging off by issuing the long option bat --paging=never. However neither bat -P or bat -pp work.

Note: this issue may affect also other short options, but I have tried only these ones.

What did you expect to happen instead?

Both bat -P and bat -pp should disable paging.

How did you install bat?

sudo pacman -S bat

Config file

# This is `bat`s configuration file. Each line either contains a comment or
# a command-line option that you want to pass to `bat` by default. You can
# run `bat --help` to get a list of all possible configuration options.

# Specify desired highlighting theme (e.g. "TwoDark"). Run `bat --list-themes`
# for a list of all available themes
--theme="OneHalfDark"

# Enable this to use italic text on the terminal. This is not supported on all
# terminal emulators (like tmux, by default):
--italic-text=always

# Uncomment the following line to disable automatic paging:
--paging=always

# Uncomment the following line if you are using less version >= 551 and want to
# enable mouse scrolling support in `bat` when running inside tmux. This might
# disable text selection, unless you press shift.
#--pager="less --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS --quit-if-one-screen --mouse"

# Syntax mappings: map a certain filename pattern to a language.
#   Example 1: use the C++ syntax for Arduino .ino files
#   Example 2: Use ".gitignore"-style highlighting for ".ignore" files
#--map-syntax "*.ino:C++"
#--map-syntax ".ignore:Git Ignore"
