Plain text files are usually open in KWrite. However, KWrite opens the file for
editing, and the size of a file that can be edited is limited (Bug 250617). So
it would be useful to have a viewer that is capable of displaying text files of
any size (← the point). GNU 'less' is one such viewer, using character mode
interface; however, no equivalent action exists in KDE (Bug 261925).
