Preventing the pager less from exiting when scrolling beyond the end of file

Question

I like less and use it as my default pager in Linux.

However, there are times that I am scrolling down through a large document quickly and less exits when I reach the end of the document before I have time to stop scrolling. I'd like less to exit only I type q, and not because I ask it to scroll beyond the end of the document. Is that possible?

Thanks

Pass -+e -+E to less to disable quit-at-EOF.
