Package: man-db Version: 2.6.3-1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
The default less prompt for, say, man man, looks like this: Manual page man(1) line 1/815 4% (press h for help or q to quit) I would like to have a prompt looking like this: Manual page man(1) line 1/815 4% In other words the same prompt without the " (press h for help or q to quit)" part. Since I'd like this change to be permanent, I wanted to use the MANLESS variable but, as said by man man, its value "will be copied verbatim into $LESS", which among other things means that $MAN_PN will not be replaced by the manual page and section number. One solution could be for me to define a shell alias such as alias man='man -r prompt ' But I'm wonderign whether there could be a better solution to achieve the desired result.
