There are 2 previewer plugins for `nnn`, using various mechanisms to display the preview window:
- [preview-kitty](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/preview-kitty): the preview window is a [kitty](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) pane (needs kitty's allow_remote_control option turned on), and files are previewed using text tools ([exa](https://github.com/ogham/exa) or ls, [bat](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat) or cat, mediainfo or file, kitty's icat).
- [preview-tabbed](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/preview-tabbed): the preview window is a [tabbed](https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed) X window, files are viewed using Xembed capable programs ([mpv](https://mpv.io) for audio/video, [sxiv](https://github.com/muennich/sxiv) for images, [zathura](https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura) for PDF, xterm/urxvt/st + [nuke](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke) plugin text preview for other files)
- [preview-tui](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/preview-tui): the preview window is either a tmux pane or a new terminal window, and files are previewed using simple text tools (tree, head, file). This is the most barebone, dependecy free preview plugin, and probably the one you want to start from if you want to make your own.
- [preview-tui](https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/preview-tui): the preview window is either a tmux pane or a new terminal window or a [kitty](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) pane (needs kitty's `allow_remote_control` option turned on), and files are previewed using tools like tree, less, file, mediainfo, kitty's icat etc. It can also use ranger's scope.sh or pistol. It's a good starting point from where you can build your own customized plugin.
**Notes:**
1. `nnn` does not watch the hovered file and update the path if it's modified while under preview. Press <kbd>Esc</kbd> or click on the entry to update the preview without changing the hovered entry.
2. To close the `preview-tui` and `preview-kitty` preview windows, press <kbd>^C</kbd> on the preview window. Run the plugin again if you want to preview.
3. To run a plugin when you start `nnn`, use the option `-P`
