I tried the lesskey program that someone pointed out to me...
Wow, what a concept! :)
Here's what I did:
I have a file called .lessrc that contains the following:
^[[B forw-line # down arrow
^[[A back-line # up arrow
^[[6~ forw-scroll # page down
^[[5~ back-scroll # page up
^[[1~ goto-line # home
^[[4~ goto-end # end
(note: the ^[ has to be an ESC i.e. in vi, type "i" for input mode,
press CTRL-v, and then press the Escape key. I'm not sure if
putting the '^' character and then the '[' character works.)
After you have this file, enter:
lesskey .lessrc
and the file ~/.less will be created with the key sequences.
Now less recognizes your new key sequences.
