It reads and displays UTF-8 encoded text from files or pipes.\n\n`moor` is designed to just do the right thing without any configuration:\n\n![Moor displaying its own source code](screenshot.png)\n\nThe intention is that Moor should be trivial to get into if you have previously\nbeen using [Less](http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/). If you come from Less\nand find Moor confusing or hard to migrate to, [please report\nit](https://github.com/walles/moor/issues)!\n\nDoing the right thing includes:\n\n- **Syntax highlight** source code by default using\n  [Chroma](https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma)\n- **Search is incremental** / find-as-you-type just like in\n  [Chrome](http://www.google.com/chrome) or\n  [Emacs](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/)\n- **Filtering is incremental**: Press \u003ckbd\u003e\u0026\u003c/kbd\u003e to filter the input\n  interactively\n- Search becomes case sensitive if you add any UPPER CASE characters\n  to your search terms, just like in Emacs\n- [Regexp](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression#Basic_concepts)\n  search if your search string is a valid regexp\n- Deduplicated search history persists across `moor` invocations\n- **Snappy UI** even on slow / large input by reading input in the background\n  and using multi-threaded search\n- Supports displaying ANSI color coded texts (like the output from\n  `git diff` [| `riff`](https://github.com/walles/riff) for example)\n- Supports UTF-8 input and output\n- **Transparent decompression*",
