the problem is when i *know* stuff fill be very long, but I still want
to start reading from the beginning. in tmux i don't know how to start
scrolling from top of my last command. I don't want to scroll there
manually. also in page i can use pgup/down in tmux i have to do crazy
emacs-combinations
Dear Suckless community,
As a newcomer who have seen the problems that your philosophy
addresses myself, I took a look at ways to get involved, and saw this
listed project idea to extend sltar with bzip2 and gzip functionality.
I started to give it a shot, and then got a bit confused as to why

Why we have to specify -z -j -a -Z or -J when decompress tar ball?
Why doesn't tar distinguish them automatically? (It should achieve
using file(1) or magic(5) database.) I cannot remember all these
options and always use pipeline e.g. bzcat | tar x. I don't sltar to
have these useless options.

Oh, compatibility among other (latest) tar is not useless. For
example, used in shell script...but old tar have no -j. How about
portability?
Personally, I've always thought that the VTxx escape sequence family is
missing one: enable/disable scroll-lock. Then, your 'pager' just consists
of printing the scroll-lock sequences at the beginning and end of output
and using your multiplexer's scrolling feature, and can be accomplished
lik
Some pagers also support search, which can be very useful.

Search is indispensably useful and needful overall for general command
output, which is why it should be implemented with a powerful/good ui
at the multiplexer/TE layer, so that you're not maintaining two or
more search facilities with similar-but-slightly-differing features.
This though leads me

Sorry my mail led discussion wrongly. I mean sltar's good point is
simplicity. Adding these options is futurism. sltar has no more than
3 options (or sub command) for now. And IMHO, these options (-z -j
...) aren't easy to remember because their names aren't
self-explanatory. So I prefer using pi
Thank you for your reply, it is good to know that I got the philosophy
right at least :)
So, is there anything else that needs a helping hand (or eye)? The
ticketing system looks nice, if it is still on.
