less(1) only developed OSC 8 support in version 566, released about one year ago. Versions prior to that misinterpreted the OSC 8 escape sequence and would write parts of it to the terminal window, an unsightly mess that would be sure to displease users. I haven't checked, but I fear that the behavior of other pagers (more, most, pg--are there others?) is similarly poor,
more looks OK. I guess it passes through all escape sequences? most and pg look bad. In Debian there are two other providers of the "pager" command: - lv (looks bad, even with the -c option); - w3m (also looks bad). -- Jakub Wilk
