Sixel image previews using chafa? #1427

Hi, I was just wondering if it would be possible to preview sixel images in the terminal using a tool like chafa. Because the current image previewer relies on tmux which doesn't support sixel. And over on the wayland side, ueberzug doesn't work.

The preview tools are just simple scripts, that you can replace yourself.

If you have a terminal multiplexer that supports sixel images, go ahead and adjust it.

Personally I only use the tabbed-preview for graphic related previews, and it works fine on my local machine

Please add it to your favourite preview plugin.
