[Feature request] display images using kitty kitten icat #117

Open ser opened 1 month ago

Kitty terminal has built-in image previews:

I think it would be cool to utilise it in clipse and probably super easy to deploy.

Hi @ser :wave:

Thank you for raising this!

Are you suggesting that icat could be used as an alternative method for rendering the image previews? I assume this would only be possible for users of kitty? I'll investigate the benefits to doing this (better image quality for example) and see if it would be worth implementing :smile:

Yes, we are limited to kitty users only, but it's a really fast and simple to use image rendering.

I believe that it won't be worth implementing this feature specifically for kitty's protocol. It's likely more preferable to make the rendering pipeline entirely customizable - this way, users of terminals that support sixel can use sixel.
