title: How to get sift to use a pager?
body: <p>I recently stumbled upon <a href="https://sift-tool.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">sift</a> ("A fast and powerful alternative to grep."). I quite like its feature-set, but there's one thing I'm missing: <strong>paged output</strong> (with colors).</p>
  
  <p>I mean, it can be done:</p>
  
  <p><code>
  $ sift 'search_string' --color | less --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS
  </code></p>
  
  <p>The <code>--color</code> I can put into <strong>.sift.conf</strong>, but the <code>| less -R</code> I have to repeat for every invocation.</p>
  
  <p>With ack, I can stick this into the <strong>.ackrc</strong> and forget about it (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22672484/using-ack-how-do-you-display-one-page-at-a-time">Using ack, how do you display one page at a time?</a> / <a href="http://beyondgrep.com/documentation/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://beyondgrep.com/documentation/</a>).</p>
  
  <p>How do I do this with sift?</p>
