[charlie-wong]

• ov version v0.33.3 rev:a5e120e
• Reproduce

  User@Server $ echo -n ok > ok.log
  User@Server $ hexyl ok.log
  ┌────────┬─────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┬────────┬────────┐
  │00000000│ 6f 6b                   ┊                         │ok      ┊        │
  └────────┴─────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┴────────┴────────┘
  User@Server $ less -F ok.log # auto append LF
  ok
  User@Server $ ov -F ok.log # do not append LF, after enter, result is
  okUser@Server $ # <--- this is not that good!

Thank you for the issue.

That's certainly how it works. However, I am not convinced that adding LF is correct.
What kind of problems will occur?

[charlie-wong]

Yes, just add LF is not right, it should be related to the OS

But when it works with git log, no auto line-feed will make output not good, like

User@Server $ git log --format=format:'%C(red)%h %C(green)%as %C(reset)%s' -2

thank you for your reply.

It seems correct to use tformat in the example you mention.

git log --format=tformat:'%C(red)%h %C(green)%as %C(reset)%s' -2

The current behavior is the same as --no-pager.
I still don't think this behavior should be the same as less.

ok, got it!
