Render Images in Neovim & tmux

[@ascourter]

What plugins do you use to render images in Neovim?

[@zherka_pill]

emacs

[@flameKuchen]

Omg....brew install pkg-config saved my life. Thanks for digging into this!

[@sharjeelmazharr]

@6:10 what plugin are you using to see the beautiful floating file explorer, could you please tell me the name?

[@ascourter]

@@sharjeelmazharr this is oil.nvim. Check out my configuration on GitHub to see how I configured it to look that way.

[@farzadmf]

LOVELY! Thank you for the great video!

[@ascourter]

@@farzadmf thanks for watching!

[@prashlovessamosa]

Thanks finally.

I also use the img-clip plugin, it allows me to paste images in neovim the same way I do in obsidian. I like pasting them in avif or webp formats, because if using transparency, they consume way less space compared to a png The tmux session issue is not related to the plugin, but something that has to do with tmux itself, I asked in the discord chat for the image plugin It wasn't possible to view images in the avif format, but I opened a pull request and it got merged, so now it's possible I have a video in which I go over everything in case you want to check it out. If you do, put it in 1.5 speed, because as my wife says, otherwise you'll end up napping, I have that gift

[@ascourter]

Oh very nice. Thanks for sharing and I will definitely check out your video explanation. I'll report back if I end up napping lol

[@linkarzu]

⁠just don't watch it if laying in bed, because you will. I did, so I know 😂

[@cyberpsion]

I got the image blocking the text link, how to add an empty line to the image?

[@kalanzi1000]

Thanks for the video

I've been using kitty for a while, had no idea kitty icat existed haha

[@ador2175]

Which tmux config your using?

[@ascourter]

Here is my current tmux config: github.com/exosyphon/dotfiles/blob/main/.tmux.conf

[@wickjohn3854]

yazi could let you preview image in tmux, if u dont want to config it , just bind it in other file manager . 🎉

[@giftcp82]

I love neovim, but sometimes it just fills like we work too hard to emulate what other applications already do with very little effort

[@ascourter]

Anytime you want to consolidate functionality of many applications into one then it will take work. But then you get the benefit of having everything in a single application or workflow.

[@Mywifeleftme3]

My wife left me

[@sachinchaudhary1310]

Why ?

[@ascourter]

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing ok.

[@ImperiumLibertas]

​@sachinchaudhary1310 because she found out he was a VSCode virgin and not a neovim chad

[@joevalente9544]

Yazi will render images in tmux but not nvim from my experience. Faster than ranger as well.

[@ascourter]

Nice. Thanks for sharing that!

[@thetruth2488]

There is actually yazi.nvim. Works in tmux and neovim perfectly

[@ascourter]

@@thetruth2488 Oh sweet. I will check that out too!

[@joevalente9544]

@@thetruth2488have you got it to render images in nvim? I use it but have not got rendering working.

[@oalfodr]

Is mac even having X?

[@ascourter]

I think I'd need to install some stuff (maybe XQuartz?). Probably doesn't have it out of the box but I didn't follow this one through very far.

[@oalfodr]

@@ascourter X is getting displaced even on Linux (I still plan to use it for several more years), so I do not think it is worth the hassle to make it work on mac

NOTIFICATION GANG

[@ascourter]

I published later so you could get in first :P

[@cody_codes_youtube]

@@ascourter so thoughtful!
