Use this sheet

  1. Download less (pager) below: a small JSON file.
  2. In Keysi, open Settings ▸ Sheets ▸ Import Sheet… and choose the file, or drop it onto the Sheets list.
  3. Keysi shows the sheet's name, the app it applies to and its shortcut count. Confirm, and it is saved to your Sheets folder.

Nothing is installed from this page: it only gives you a file, and Keysi asks before it saves it. If you already have a sheet with the same identifier, Keysi offers to replace it or keep both.

Matches the program in a terminal's foreground: less, man. Keysi checks the terminal's foreground job, so the sheet appears while you're actually in it.

Shortcuts taken from the tool's documentation: man7.org. Check them against your own configuration, since a tool you have remapped is no longer on its defaults.
