How can I have navigation for for view?

[msphinct]

Hi, I've been using this for a while, and I love it! The only frustration is that it doesn't work when I'm using other 'vi' type programs--like 'view' which is readonly. When I use vimpager for man pages (as my MANPAGER, it doesn't work. Is it possible to add something like that, so that I can move around in other sessions?
Thanks!

Hi @msphinct, glad you've been enjoying it! Can you clarify what you mean by "it doesn't work..."? Does it just fail to navigate, or is there an error message you're seeing?

Hey! Here's an example: example
However, I think I just realized what's going on. My MANPAGER isnt' using an nvim session that's loading your plugin :(

So, by you asking me to show you, I think I see the light! Oh well, problem solved!

Hey @christoomey! It looks like I spoke too soon. It's doing it again, and this time I've got more info.
So, I'm using 'nvimpager' for my PAGER, and when I do 'man ', it shows up like this:

/bin/bash /home/pete/.local/bin/nvimpager

I've tried all kinds of different PAGER's, and I thought nvimpager was going to solve it. No joy :(

I cannot use tmux-vim from another pane, once I go there. However, if I 'ssh localhost', and then run 'man ', I can tmux-vim back and forth. ISo, it turns out, I'm not nuts.

Any idea what might be causing that?
Thanks!
