Yes, I think that was suggested as an issue worth bringing up with less maintainers earlier in the thread already (and that was why I didn't repeat it). If we were in the business of updating less to suit many users' needs (the needs of our users included), we may even want to advocate turning R on by default. And I do agree that the "chopped marker" would be a very sensible thing to show in the "-S" output; I would have chosen "$" myself for that to match an existing practice in (setq truncate-lines t) in Emacs, though. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
