Default pager scrolls to the bottom

[tranzystorekk]

When setting use_pager=true, the less -R default displays short tldr pages scrolled to the bottom:

This can be fixed with PAGER="less -R +g":

I'm not sure if modifying the default command is worth it, but setting the global PAGER also seems like an overkill, maybe a TEALDEER_PAGER variable would be a good middle ground?

Would using an alias work? In bash, you can run alias tldr="PAGER='less -R +g' tldr" in your .bashrc file, which is where I suppose you would want to set the value of TEALDEER_PAGER, if we would support that. Then, all following usages of tldr will have the PAGER variable set.

Alias is a viable workaround, but a proper TEALDEER_PAGER seems like a more user-forward way; similarly man has MANPAGER and bat has BAT_PAGER.

Fair enough. We are generally moving more towards config.toml over environment variables, so maybe an option there (next to use_pager) would be better
