#!/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. # # Shell: POSIX compliant # Authors: Todd Yamakawa, Léo Villeveygoux TERMINAL="${TERMINAL:-xterm}" PAGER="${PAGER:-less}" preview_file () { kill "$(jobs -p)" 2>/dev/null clear encoding="$(file -b --mime-encoding "$1")" if [ -d "$1" ]; then # Print directory tree cd "$1" || return # we use a FIFO to access less PID tmpfifopath="${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/nnn-preview-tui-fifo.$$" mkfifo "$tmpfifopath" || return $PAGER < "$tmpfifopath" & ( exec > "$tmpfifopath" tree& ) rm "$tmpfifopath" elif [ "$encoding" = "binary" ] ; then # Binary file: just print filetype info echo "-------- Binary file --------" file -b "$1" else # Text file: $PAGER "$1" & fi } if [ "$PREVIEW_MODE" ] ; then if [ ! -r "$NNN_FIFO" ] ; then echo "No FIFO available!
