Moor is a terminal pager (formerly named moar) that displays UTF-8 text from files or pipes with zero configuration. It provides syntax highlighting, incremental search, transparent decompression, and mouse scrolling out of the box as a drop-in replacement for less.

Use cases

• view large log files in the terminal with syntax highlighting
• replace less with a pager that works without configuration
• page through git diff output with colors preserved
• search inside piped command output incrementally
• read gzipped or xz-compressed text files directly
• follow growing log output like tail -f while paging

When to choose

• you want a modern less alternative with sensible defaults and no config
• you need syntax highlighting and incremental find-as-you-type in a pager
• you view ANSI-colored output like git diff and want it rendered properly
• you want transparent decompression of compressed files while paging

When to avoid

• you rely on less-specific scripts or keybindings that must match exactly
• you need a graphical document viewer rather than a terminal pager
• you require a pager with extensive plugin or configuration ecosystems
