Bug ID: 5580 Summary: ui.paginate=never (or False) disables --pager=yes Product: Mercurial Version: 4.2 Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: feature Priority: wish Component: pager Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org Reporter: h...@pewpew.net CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org I'm sure there are other hgrc options that can't be overridden with a flag, but this one is a bit awkward, IMHO. $ cat hgrc [ui] paginate=False $ HGRCPATH=hgrc hg help config --pager=yes <all contents, no pager> $ HGRCPATH=hgrc hg version -v Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 4.2+23-387a76cac28e) (see https://mercurial-scm.org for more information) Copyright (C) 2005-2017 Matt Mackall and others This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.

Enabled extensions: My real desire can be expressed as follows: "My site admins have enabled pager by default; I do not want this, so I want to disable it by default but was surprised I couldn't use --pager=yes on the commandline". I don't *actually* do that often, though, and would probably just do `| less` instead of a command-specific flag, so responding "Working as Intended, just do `| less` yourself if you've disabled the pager" is an OK response imho, especially since I (personally) never use --pager=auto. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Mercurial-devel mailing list Mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org https://www.mercurial-scm.org/mailman/listinfo/mercurial-devel
