Previously, if I ran something | less
, and then press q
, it used to return me to the prompt with the output of less
still visible.
$ seq 1 100 | less
1

:q
$ <prompt here. I can still see the output of less>
But now, after I installed Zsh (with oh-my-zsh. It doesn't work in bash too), the terminal looks like this:
$ seq 1 100 | less
<less shows up, I press :q and it is cleared>
$ <prompt here. Output of less disappears.>
I searched for a less
config file and found none. Is there any way I can get less
to behave the previous way? Having the output visible is very handy.
