Thank you Jatin.

I knew 'most' would work.

It is able to display colours as well.

But I am used to 'less' and its key bindings.

I am quite puzzled as why the termcap settings for less don't work in Fedora20.

Do you have any explanations??

Just a few hours ago I installed CentOS 7 and it worked fine there too with KDE.

Do you know any sort of workaround to this problem??

when viewing man pages.

I am using Fedora 20 with KDE. My shell is zsh.

-----------

man()

{

env LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m' \

LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;34m' \

LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m' \

LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m' \

LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[01;33;40m' \

LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m' \

LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[01;04;35m' \

man "$@"

}
