My visidata protip is using it as a pager for terminal database clients. I'm using it with mycli/MySQL right now but it should work with any client that lets you use a custom result pager. This setup has entirely replaced gui db clients which I've found to be consistently awful.

I can't figure out how to get it configured as a pager (in postgres). I've been using pspg set in my .psqlrc.

I changed it to \setenv PAGER 'vd' and I just get a big chunk of text with no ability to navigate columns. How are you doing it with mysql?

I'm also interested in an answer to this.
