nnn/plugins/preview-tui

#!/usr/bin/env sh

# Description: Text based file previewer
#
# Note: This plugin needs a "NNN_FIFO" to work.
#
# Dependencies: tmux (>=3.0) or xterm or $TERMINAL, less or $PAGER, file, tree
#
# Usage:
#   You need to set a NNN_FIFO path and set a key for the plugin,
#   then start `nnn`:
#
#     $ NNN_FIFO=/tmp/nnn.fifo nnn
#
#   Then in `nnn`, launch the `preview-tui` plugin.
#
#   If you provide the same NNN_FIFO to all nnn instances, there will be a
#   single common preview window. I you provide different FIFO path, they
#   will be independent.
#
#   Configure SPLIT to either "h" or "v" to set a 'h'orizontal split or a
#   'v'ertical split
#
# Shell: POSIX compliant
