On macOS man uses the pager "/usr/bin/less -is" (see man's man page). When I type man , I see colorized output, and I like this. But, I prefer to use the terminal's find commands when using man, and see less's paging behavior as an obstacle.
If I set the pager to cat, I lose coloring.
How can I disable paging, but keep coloring?
colors man less pager more
