[solved] remap keys in pager less

Hi,

less seems to be the most common pager for cli and is very convenient, as it has vim-keybindings for movement.

However, I changed my keyboard layout, so that j and k are no longer lying at their querty-Positions.

Is there a way to remap keys in less or do I have to modify the sourcecode and build it on my own?

Thanks in advance!
