How to pass original JSONL entry to profiles.args?

[rwx7]

Trying to config skim

[[pager.profiles]]
name = "skim"
command = "sk"
delimiter = "newline"
args = [
  "--ansi",
  "--exact",
  "--multi",
  "--no-sort",
  "--no-bold",
  "--highlight-line",
  "--bind=ctrl-q:abort",
  "--bind=enter:toggle-raw",
  "--preview", "echo  {+}",
  "--preview-window", "right:50%:wrap"
]

How do I pass the original JSONL line to skim --preview? {+} sends the formatted text.

Currently it is impossible. Pager is operating on the processed text only, it does not have any information about the source text.

Potentially something like this could be implemented by double processing. For example, hl could provide raw text to the pager and a command to format raw text which would call hl again. But I doubt any pager supports running additional commands to preprocess the input data except for the "preview" window like fzf and sk do.

So, currently you can configure only the opposite. You can view raw JSON/logfmt in the main pain and view it formatted with hl in the preview pane.
Here is an example:

# Pager profile for `sk`.
[[pager.profiles]]
name = "skim"
command = "sk"
delimiter = "newline"
args = [
  "--ansi",
  "--exact",
  "--multi",
  "--no-sort",
  "--no-bold",
  "--highlight-line",
  "--bind=ctrl-q:abort",
  "--bind=enter:toggle-raw",
  "--preview", "printf %s\\\\n {+} | hl -Pc",
  "--preview-window", "right:50%:wrap"
]

And the command:

HL_PAGER=@skim hl -r example.log

No worries. Thanks for your time.
