.SH NAME
.PP
\fBManora\fR \- A simple CLI & TUI tool to display, download and save man pages as PDF files.\&
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Run `manora` to open a TUI menu that allows searching through local man pages, downloading man pages from <https://manned.\&org>, and displaying them as PDF files.\&
.PP
Alternatively, specify the man page to open as an argument (e.\&g.\& `manora ls`).\&
If the specified man page cannot be found locally, Manora offers to download it from <https://manned.\&org>.\&
.PP
Manora opens man pages in the default PDF reader defined in XDG MIME Applications, or fallback to Zathura if no default PDF reader is set.\&  
.PP
Manora can also be opened from a keybinding.\& For instance, one can bind the `alacritty \-e manora` command to a keybind, which will open the `manora` TUI menu in `alacritty`.\&
.PP
See below for the CLI options.\&
