In less one can open the current document/file/buffer in $EDITOR by pressing v. This is extremely handy if one is looking at output from a complicated/slow/expensive pipeline as it allows the data to be saved to a file. It would be great if jless could support that too.
I often find myself doing a curl <some-endpoint> | jless for an inintial inspection of the data, but then I have to run the curl again to save the data to disk. With the above feature I would not have to rerun and could directly to go an editor. The data would not have to be formatted, just a way to get it out of jless would be great.
