pager = kras -Csw120 | less -iRXF

Acknowledgement
This tool is powered by these amazing libs: pom for parsing and pretty for pretty-printing
Trivia
The name kras comes from russian root крас- - a beginning of words such as красивый (pretty), красный (red) and красить (to paint). That's what this app does: makes data pretty and paints it red (but not only red)
