Separate pager commands for diff and PKGBUILD

[windmueller]

After starting to use paru, I had some troubles configuring syntax highlighting for AUR packages. I managed to fix this using

[bin]
Pager = bat -l bash

in the config file. However, the bash language parameter is only useful when looking at a complete PKGBUILD. For inspecting a diff, the option -l diff would be much better.

If there is no other way to configure this, a separate pager option for PKGBUILD and diff output would be helpful.

Have you checked the readme and man page for this feature?

Yes, the string "diff" does not show up in the README at all and the manpage of the config file only mentions the single command.

Have you checked previous issues for this feature?

Yes. If my search strings were not good enough, please point me to the correct issue.

Paru use bat to do it's own syntax highlighting. You should be fine to just not set the pager and also make sure color is enabled in pacman.conf.

Well, not for me. I checked the ps tree, paru opens less instead of bat.

Ah, the Color option did the trick. I did not expect it to have any impact on the PKGBUILD diff. However, paru still opens less instead of bat.
