About Nvimpager

Nvimpager runs Neovim in a pager-like mode for man pages, Git diffs, and other text. It supports mouse navigation and can display a highlighted file in the terminal without opening the Neovim interface.

It requires Neovim 0.9 or later and Bash. The project provides a Makefile for installation and notes that some Linux distributions package it.
