You can set Vim as your pager. If you are on Neovim, its very easy, just set this variable:
export PAGER='nvim +Man!'
export MANPAGER="${PAGER}"
Then try man grep. These variables could be set in your .bashrc in example. If you use the "original" Vim, it's a bit more complicated to setup. I did that before too, so it's definitely doable.
This, but I use bat since it seems to be faster for this.
Edit: I should clarify that I only use bat as the MANPAGER, since bat uses less under the hood for paging anyway. But with support for a built-in pager in the new release, perhaps it makes sense to set it as the PAGER too.
What's the Wayland equiv? I did a quick search and got a few different answers. Apparently bashrc still works since its your term shell but not for setting variables in the login shell. One comment said it could be ~/.profile
Do you know?
I'm a bit confused by your question. less is usually the default pager and it supports vim style navigation out of the box. Moreover, a pager is just for viewing content (historically which didn't fit on the screen), and not for editing. So I'm not sure what you mean by pasting
I'm on my phone, but when using less "v" opens the file in $EDITOR. I don't remember if it defaults to read only
