3 years ago That's up to ranger to implement. kitty doesn't stop sending input to the terminal program while displaying images.
If you are talking about the icat kitten, then yes that does throwaway input while running, but that it pretty much the behavior of any program that runs. Input you send it while running, is processed byt he program not what comes after it.

3 years ago no, I'm not talking about the icat kitten. So, Kitty still sends the key presses while it's decoding/+rendering and ranger blocks until it gets kitty's image preview protocol response that means "I'm done rendering"? (I'm not familiar how Kitty Image Previews work)

I'm afraid I'm not interested in having the kitten store and retransmit input during its brief time of operation.

3 years ago Oh and if you want icat to not read anything from the tty, use --trasfer-mode=stream
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm always frustrated when I'm using ranger to view a directory of images and pressing j (to select the next file/image below) but kitty doesn't capture my input.
Describe the solution you'd like when kitty starts or while it is decoding and rendering the image it should still listen for input so the program stays responsive.
Describe alternatives you've considered I found none.
