✨ Perfect man page viewer with optimal side-by-side layout
## Enhanced man function following Prime Directive principles - **Durable**: Robust cross-terminal support (kitty/tmux/iTerm) - **Thoughtful**: Optimal 60/40 split (~100 chars CLI, ~64 chars reading) - **Lasting**: Clean code, proper error handling, graceful fallbacks ### Key Features - Beautiful syntax highlighting with Nord theme - Responsive width adaptation via MANWIDTH - Kitty remote control with proper resize shortcuts - Clean traditional appearance (no line numbers) - Stays open until user dismisses ### Technical Improvements - Uses /usr/bin/man explicitly to prevent recursion - Proper environment detection and fallback chain - Added kitty resize shortcuts to config - Removed debug output for clean UX ### Files Updated - shell/functions.zsh: Complete man() rewrite - config/kitty/kitty.conf: Added resize shortcuts - shell/aliases.zsh: Batman alias compatibility - Cleanup of merged files and plugin updates μέτρον γὰρ καὶ συμμετρία - measure, proportion, and what is fitting 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
