Estimated read time: 1 minutes
First, to allow latin{1,2,whatever} accents in the pager to be non-escaped:
export LESSCHARSET="iso8859"
Second, I use:
# F: quit if input is less then one page # M: no more-like short prompt # R: accept colors # X: don't throw away the output after quit under x export LESS="FMRX"
Finally to send utf8 and other exotic chars in latin2 to stdout in git (OK, this is not strictly related):
git config i18n.logOutputEncoding latin2
Done!
