Are there any tools to view man pages in a GUI?
I personally dislike the command line interface. It lacks easy scrolling, searching and so on. Is there any tool with some more intuitive user interface and features?
Preferably for KDE.
From the Ubuntu man page, Gman is a "GTK+ based front-end for man, a good replacement for xman."
Gman provides an index of the man pages installed on your local system and offers several options for viewing the man pages. The default option is to have gman open the man pages within an xterm session. This can be modified to suit your taste with four other options.
The other viewing options available are:
- ghostview
- Evince
- LocalBrowse
- NetBrowse
In order to change the application used for viewing, select View from the menu and then select the radio button next to your preferred application, as shown below:
The last two options require having the man2html package installed on your system and will bring up the man pages in your default browser.
