How can you get similar highlightings to Zsh's Less than Bash's Less in Ubuntu?
I switched from OS X to Ubuntu. My Less do not work as expected in Zsh.
Manuals in my Less are green and black with or without the following code.
# comment these out in Ubuntu
export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m' # begin blinking
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m' # end mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m' # end standout-mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[38;5;246m' # begin standout-mode - info box
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m' # end underline
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[04;33;146m' # begin underline is now yellow
# | | |
# | |----------------- yellow
# |-------------------- underline
# to have the indication of cursor's location and line numbers, and R
export LESS="-mNR"
# |--------- only ASCII color
The code makes manuals readable in OS X, but it does not work for Ubuntu in Zsh.
Ubuntu has excellent highlightings in Bash's Less. My manuals have the colors yellow, green and black in Bash without my code. Both Zsh and Bash use the same Less at /usr/bin/less
. This suggests me that Ubuntu's Bash has some dot-files which configure it somewhere.
Where are highlightings for Ubuntu's Less in Bash?
