Changes for version 1.14 - 2026-11-13
- Add --lateral (-L) to put all the pages in one row, however wide it becomes, and to scroll it sideways in the pager: the screen shows as many panes as fit, or as -C tells, and less gets "-S --shift=N --rscroll=-" with the width of a pane, so that the arrow keys move by one page, h and l as well, and H and L go to the ends (less 661 or later, by LESSKEY_CONTENT); l stops at the right end with less 710 or later, and a less with --align-shift (tecolicom/tap) gets it, so that search and the right end keep the panes at the edge of the screen
- Gather what depends on less into a new LESS section of the manual: the environment variables, the versions, and the build of less in tecolicom/tap with --align-record and --align-shift
