使less的跟隨選項顯示線移動

我經常發現自己使用 less 來顯示包含數百個連續的、相同的行的日誌文件，這些行以設定的時間間隔附加到文件中。

例如，

something happened
something happened
something happened
something happened
something happened
something happened
something happened
... (100 identical lines later)
something happened
something happened

我使用 less 的 follow 選項來跟踪日誌文件，但是一旦列印了一定數量的相同行，就無法判斷日誌文件是否仍在寫入。

tail與標誌一起使用-f通過允許我在其輸出中放入換行符來解決這個問題，它與文本一起浮動，顯示文本的流動/運動。

$ tail -f a-terrible-log-file   |   (a few seconds later)
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened<C-j>         |   something happened
                               |   something happened                        
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   something happened      
something happened              |   something happened      

有沒有辦法顯示線流/移動less？

你可以從-N顯示行號開始。
