Is there a way to get Vim-style modal editing in a Linux pager? (programming.dev)

I’d like to be able to navigate text in a pager with Vim-style modal editing (moving with hjkl and yank/paste with y/p). Is there a way to enable this in the default pager, or is there an alternative pager that supports this kind of modal behavior?

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
