Darcs changes -i has a better interface than less. +1, fwiw, to the idea of maybe only defaulting to switch into darcs cha -i towards the end of "the first page"...

Musings: `git log` starts a pager by default if the log is too long to fit the terminal height, which I maybe like better than either `darcs changes` or `darcs changes -i`. An implicit pager suits inexperienced users if (alas) they can figure out that `q` is the way to exit the pager (None of the following exit `less`: Ctrl-C, Esc, Ctrl-Q, Ctrl-W). Putting text in a pager means it won't appear in my terminal's scrollback history, which is sometimes a blessing and sometimes a curse. Other than that, I like `less`'s interface. (Don't mind me, I mostly use Git these days.) -Isaac _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
