#!/usr/bin/env sh

# Description: File previewer for kitty term using NNN_FIFO
#
# Dependencies:
#   - kitty (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) with allow_remote_control on
#   - file
#   - exa (https://github.com/ogham/exa) (fallback: ls)
#   - bat (https://github.com/sharkdp/bat) (fallback: cat)
#   - mediainfo (fallback: file)
#
# Usage:
#   This plugin only works in kitty (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/),
#   and with kitty's 'allow_remote_control' option turned on.
#   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-kitty` plugin.
#
#   If you provide the same NNN_FIFO to all nnn instances, there will be a
#   single common preview window. If you provide different FIFO path, they
#   will be independent.
#
# Shell: POSIX compliant
