--raw preserves the original file layout (line breaks, indentation, empty lines, tabs expanded to 4 spaces) so the user can practice typing structured text like source code or man pages. --qwerty displays all UTF-8 but only requires the user to type ASCII-printable characters. Non-typeable characters are shown in yellow and the cursor skips over them. Entirely non-typeable words are auto-skipped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Did this for my own use case, thought I would make a PR in case anyone else likes these features.

Also added automatic scroll for longer files.
Next thing I'm thinking about is to have the ability to paginate a file into n lines with progress saved to a file somewhere. That way, at the end of every page you get the report and the option to continue, repeat page, quit, etc. Currently I have a shell script that does all the tracking and calls the binary with just the current page.
