Überblick
Use NeoVim as a pager to view manpages, diffs, etc.
Verlauf
nvimpager is a small pager wrapper that launches Neovim in a pager-like mode for man pages, files, pipes, and diffs. It is not trying to replace `less` for every workload; it exists for users who want Neovim syntax highlighting, mouse behavior, and familiar keybindings while reading output.
The nvimpager repository was created on 2017-10-23. Its README describes the project as a rewrite of vimpager with fewer but stricter dependencies and with Neovim as the target editor.
The project stayed deliberately small: a wrapper script, a man page, a separate configuration path under `~/.config/nvimpager`, and enough logic to choose pager mode or cat mode depending on input.
nvimpager's adoption follows the shell-customization path: people find it through Neovim, then set `PAGER=nvimpager` or use it for `man`, `git diff`, and piped command output. Homebrew packages version 0.14.0 and declares Neovim as a runtime dependency.
The package is also present in several Unix packaging ecosystems, including Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Alpine, and openSUSE, which is the right scale for a focused terminal utility.
The README shows the practical workflow: run `nvimpager file`, pipe text into it, or export `PAGER=nvimpager` and then use `man bash` or `git diff`. Cat mode prints highlighted output directly when opening the full Neovim interface would be overkill.
Users configure nvimpager separately from their normal Neovim setup with `~/.config/nvimpager/init.vim` or `~/.config/nvimpager/init.lua`, which keeps pager behavior from being accidentally slowed or broken by a full editing config.
nvimpager matters because it turns an editor into a Unix pipeline component without pretending every terminal read needs a new pager implementation. It is a thin adapter around a powerful installed tool.
Its limitations are part of the package story: the README notes that large files and lazy pipe reading remain areas where `less` is faster or more memory efficient.
