This PR restores the
lessfunctionality. This displays a small section of text at a time to make viewing large files easier and interactively via theUpandDownkey.Note: Previous implementation relied on
app_ioto grab a reference to the current terminal and keyboard. However,app_io::get_my_terminal()andapp_io::take_key_event_queue()can no longer be supported or re-added due to code structuring. This is why I added the code to theshellapplication, which already has access to the current terminal and keyboard.Use the
UpandDownkey to scroll through text andQkey to quitlessmode. Below are some test cases. I addedopning_crawl_all.txtfor a large file for test.(Used
Downarrow key to scroll through rest of text).(Using
Upkey to scroll up).
