missing configuration key in the doc of the egrc #66

Closed Sispheor closed 7 years ago

I would like eg to clean the screen after exit. Currently you use the "X" argument here to prevent the cleanup. I can override the DEFAULT_PAGER_CMD by using [-p PAGER_CMD] but I have to type it everytime. It would be useful to add this argument to the egrc.

OK, actually the rc file looks for a var called pager-cmd. It's just not documented in the main readme. You wrote that the rc file can only handle two keys: custom-dir and examples-dir.

It's actually in the doc. PEBKAC issue. Sorry :)

Great. The README is rather wordy and the info on the config is spread out, so no worries.

Interesting that you want the screen cleared. I like the X option so that I can find the example I want and then refer back to it at the prompt.

Yes, I prefer highlight the command with my mouse to push it in the Linux buffer and then past it into my context. I prefer having a view to last commands.
