Xless is a handy text file viewer for X.

Useful as a viewer tool for other apps (e.g., xfm, the X file manager),
or as a standalone viewer. Presents a scrollable text window (both
vertical and horizontal scrolling), with a number of clickable buttons.

Features:
Display either the file(s) specified on the command line or input from
standard input, supplied by a pipe. File/pipe may be optionally
monitored so that the display is continuously updated as new text is
added.
Display new files in the current window or by creating a new window.
Reload or print the displayed file.
Search the displayed file using either exact, case-insensitive, or
regular expression patterns.
Edit the displayed file with your favorite editor (as specified in
the VISUAL or EDITOR environment variable)
