Image still visible when switching to another tmux window

[paulwyszynski]

Hi,

I know this one was fixed previously, but I have the same issue with:

Tmux 3.5
Nvim 0.10.1
Kitty 0.35.2

I have also the following settings in my neovim config. It should also hide when cursor is moved off of image, but the image is rendered forever. It gets only cleared after I detach and reattach to my tmux session.

return {
  {
    "vhyrro/luarocks.nvim",
    priority = 1001, -- this plugin needs to run before anything else
    opts = {
      rocks = { "magick" },
    },
  },
  {
    "3rd/image.nvim",
    opts = {
      integrations = {
        markdown = {
          clear_in_insert_mode = true,
          only_render_image_at_cursor = true,
        },
      },
      html = {
        enabled = true,
      },
      css = {
        enabled = true,
      },
      max_width_window_percentage = 50,
      tmux_show_only_in_active_window = true,
    },
  },
}

My tmux.conf

# Image.nvim specific settings
set -g visual-activity off
set -gq allow-passthrough on

I have the same issue. "tmux_show_only_in_active_window = true," does not work. I changed default options in the lua/image/init.lua directly and it works.

[paulwyszynski]

You mean here: ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/image.nvim/lua/image? That didn't help either on my side. Did you kill tmux server, too?

[xuwei152]

No, I didn't kill tmux server.

[paulwyszynski]

Actually same with 3.5a I figured out, that this only happens if you have more than one tmux windows in a session and try to render images in markdown files at tmux window index > 1...

I guess the solution is the following if you're using kitty:

• term xterm-kitty in your kitty.conf
• set -g default-terminal "${TERM}" in your tmux.conf

Start a new session. Credits to YT

@xuwei152 Hey, tried to debug why the tmux_show_only_in_active_window option didn't work, do you have more details? It should do the same as setting it directly.
