i feel like i've probably asked this before but has anyone written a fancy command line man page viewer to replace `man`?

(not emacs or vim)

qman looks interesting but on my machine it takes several seconds to start https://github.com/plp13/qman

If either of you are running #Slackware there's a package build for it here:

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/system/qman/

If nothing else you can easily examine the build script and fashion one for your distro.

Or you can install it with a single command in one fell swoop with sbopkg

Enjoy!
