When you use the man pages from the terminal it's not so easy to skip to them

Sounds like you need to spend some time in man more

man find
/thing you want to find

Should be enough to skip right to what you want.

Seems like a lot of extra faffing about if you're already in a terminal with your hands on the keyboard to avoid learning how to use a tool explicitly built for that use case.

But sure. You do you boo.

It's also a terminal application, but that one in particular is deprecated

This one isn't

tldr is in my distro's repos so it's easy enough to install
