Change IDs & Paged output

[XBagon]

jj log neatly shows all changes with their respective ids (and commit hashes) and indicates what part of it I need to type to refer to it uniquely. But now with the default behaviour, it shows me this information in less and when I press Q it exists and my screen clears.
I was thinking the idea was to now be able to just type the unique prefix of the change id (for whatever jj command), but I cannot see it anymore. So am I supposed to copy-paste it every time I need one, or should I be able to remember it?
I guess I would be happy to exit with a different key to print it to the screen, when I need it?

The simplest solution would probably be to try the :builtin pager. It defaults to not clearing the screen.

Alternatively, you could try running export LESS=FRX (assuming you use bash/fish/zsh) and see if that helps with subsequent jj invocations from the same shell. That tells less to not clear the screen. If that works well, you can put export LESS=FRX somewhere in your shell setup for a similar effect.

Third option: you could try setting ui.pager to ["less", "-FRX"].

I found a good solution for myself!
I like to decide if I need the output of log for the next command and now I'm using ov, which allows for Ctrl+Q to quit without clearing/outputting to stdout.

That's a cool feature ov has.

It always displays to an alternate screen, but if you quit with Ctrl+Q, it prints the screen to the original screen as well (I guess it goes to stdout after the pager resets to the original screen).
