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 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
