I also use less.sh occasionally, mostly at the end of some pipeline
where I want to have syntax highlighting.

some shell pipeline | less.sh

Like Linda, I like less.sh to behave more or less like less.

I think folding is an advanced feature. People (even Vim users) don't
necessarily know how to disable it quickly, or even what it is.

If you need a full-fledged but read-only text editor, why not use
'view', which is just that?
