Issuing a ex command like

Press ENTER or type command to continue
requiring me to navigate to the start of the output. Less does not
do this when invoked from bash.
Side-stepping the issue a little, but you could consider opening a new
scratch buffer and then reading the output of your shell command into
it, then just navigating that buffer in nvim directly, rather than using
an external pager. E.g.
:ene
:r! perldoc -f close
Or more simply for your cat|less example, simply open the file in nvim
directly, in a new pane if you wish
:sp
:e some_file
