Add flag to enable paging / choose pager about howdoi HOT 3 CLOSED

So I originally requested this in hopes of getting around limitations with Neovim's :termopen command as it can't pipe commands (only runs a singular command with some flags), but I've since then discovered that I can get around it by using bash -c and then provide howdoi piped to a pager as the command argument

Thanks for the suggestion. It's been a design decision to specifically not support features that can be achieved by other tools. For a pager, I could imagine some folks might want to page with less, but others might want something curses-based, and also have very fine grained control over exactly how and when the paging occurs. These will all be features howdoi would have to support.

Are there reasons why you want something built in, rather than using other utilities? Is it just ease of use or is it technologically difficult for what you're trying to achieve?

Excellent! Thanks again for supporting howdoi
