Navigating lines longer than terminal

Open ttiimm opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

From what I could tell from reading the help, there is no sub-line navigation. If a log line fills up the terminal window, then I cannot easily scroll down without going to the next line. I'd like some way of viewing the next page of the line without having to put everything on one line and scroll to the right.

The top-of-tree (eventually v0.7.3) has a "pretty printer" feature that should reduce the need for navigating through wide lines. The printer can reformat the lines with structured data (xml, json) to something more readable. It still needs some more polish, but it's turning into a pretty handy feature.
