Does it support tailing a file?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask. But tailing & using the grep filter on the fly would be super usefull.
Feel free to close the issue if out of place.
Hi! It's totally ok to ask! :) Unfortunately, currently I'm not planning to add this feature. It is a cool idea, but as of now, I am not aware how it could be sensibly implemented in the codebase of up, I'm afraid. I'll add it to the ideabook on the wiki however; it's certainly a cool thought, and maybe some day someone will invent a way to make those ideas work together?
Thanks for your feedback!
@aniket-deole with peco you can do that
... but in my case, when I use peco with tailing peco consumes a lot of the cpu
Uh, by the way, this was kinda obvious to me, but maybe is not so obvious, so just to make sure it's explained: you can do something like below to tail a file:
$ tail -F $FILE | up— though, the limitation of up's fixed buffer size remains.
