I love an article like this where a person demonstrates a bunch of niche features of a tool they are a power-user of. In this case less.

I didn’t know there was much more to do with less than pipe it a bunch of stdout or view a log file with it.

A couple features that stood out to me where:

• using -N and -n to toggle line numbers on and off
• doing successive filtering with multiple % pattern invocations
• pulling in and navigating multiple files (still not totally sure of the workflow I’d use this for)
