This simple Vim plugin gives Vim a pager mode.
<c-p> toggles pager mode on an off
f in pager mode, <PageDown>
<space> in pager mode, <PageDown>
b in pager mode, <PageUP>
When pager mode is on, it will say so in the Vim status line.
I wanted this for myself because on my laptop, paging up or down in Vim
required key-chording (e.g. CTRL-f instead of just f) since there are no
dedicated Page Up or Page Down keys. I wanted the less command's ability
to page forward and back with a single keypress in Vim.
Copy plugin/pager_mode.vim to your ~/.vim/plugin directory.
To uninstall, just remove it.
