# Description: Terminal based file previewer
#
# Note: This plugin needs a "NNN_FIFO" to work. See man.
#
# Dependencies:
#    - Supports 3 independent methods to preview with:
#        - tmux (>=3.0), or
#        - kitty with allow_remote_control on, or
#        - $TERMINAL set to a terminal (it's xterm by default).
#    - less or $PAGER
#    - tree or exa or ls
#    - mediainfo or file
#    - unzip
#    - tar
#    - man
#    - optional: bat for code syntax highlighting
#    - optional: kitty terminal or catimg for images
#    - optional: scope.sh file viewer from ranger.
#                To use:
#                1. drop scope.sh executable in $PATH
#                2. set/export $USE_SCOPE as 1
#
# Usage:
#   You need to set a NNN_FIFO path and a key for the plugin with NNN_PLUG,
#   then start `nnn`:
#
#     $ nnn -a
#
#   or
#
#     $ 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 (e.g.
#   with -a), they will be independent.
#
#   The previews will be shown in a tmux split. If that isn't possible, it
#   will try to use a kitty terminal split. And as a final fallback, a
#   different terminal window will be used ($TERMINAL).
#
#   Tmux and kitty users can configure $SPLIT to either "h" or "v" to set a
#   'h'orizontal split or a 'v'ertical split (as in, the line that splits the
#   windows will be horizontal or vertical).
#
#   Kitty users need `allow_remote_control` set to `yes`. To customize the
#   window split, `enabled_layouts` has to be set to `all` or `splits` (the
#   former is the default value). This terminal is also able to show images
#   without extra dependencies.
#
# Shell: POSIX compliant
