moor – pager that reads and displays UTF-8 encoded text from files or pipelines

moor (previously known as moar) is a pager. It reads and displays UTF-8 encoded text from files or pipelines.

It’s designed to just do the right thing without any configuration.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Syntax highlight source code by default using Chroma.
  • Search is incremental / find-as-you-type just like in Chrome or Emacs.
  • Search becomes case sensitive if you add any UPPER CASE characters to your search terms, just like in Emacs.
  • Regexp search if your search string is a valid regexp.
  • Supports displaying ANSI color coded texts (like the output from git diff | riff for example).
  • Supports UTF-8 input and output.
  • Automatic decompression when viewing compressed text files (.gz, .bz2, .xz).
  • The position in the file is always shown.
  • Supports word wrapping (on actual word boundaries) if requested using –wrap or by pressing w.
  • Follows output as long as you are on the last line, just like tail -f.
  • Renders terminal hyperlinks properly.
