Display real images (not just ascii) inside of vim using Überzug This plugin will only work in terminal vim/neovim and while running X11.
For more information about Überzug check out the github page:
https://github.com/seebye/ueberzug
Make sure that python3 is installed, and run the following command:
pip3 install ueberzug
Add the following to your vimrc
Plug 'qaiviq/vim-imager'
Then reload vim and run the command
PlugInstall
Add the following to your vimrc
Plugin 'qaiviq/vim-imager'
Then reload vim and run the command
PluginInstall
Imager will insert an image wherever you place the following text in your file:
<<img path="PATH-TO-IMAGE" height=HEIGHT-IN-LINES>>
For example, to insert the image ~/Pictures/MyImage 5 lines high, you would use:
<<img path="~/Pictures/MyImage" height=5>>
You can also specify a path relative to the file you are inserting the image into.
If the image you wanted to insert was in the same directory as the file, you could use:
<<img path="MyImage" height=5>>
or alternatively
<<img path="./MyImage" height=5>>
If the image was in the directory above the current file, its relative path would be:
<<img path="../MyImage" height=5>>
This dot pattern continues, meaning that for each higher up directory, simply add another dot.
If you wanted to acces the image ~/MyImage from the file ~/Documents/Misc/Notes/MyNote.txt, the relative path would be:
<<img path="..../MyImage" height=5>>
If you wanted to insert images into code, any string of characters can be inserted before or after the image declaration to make it a comment, and it will still work.
# <<img path="MyImage" height=5>>
// <<img path="MyImage" height=5>>
<!--<<img path="MyImage" height=5>>-->
Specify a list of filetypes to enable imager in:
let g:imager#filetypes = ['.md']
Enable imager automatically for all files:
let g:imager#all_filetypes = 1
Disable imager temporarily (for example, to edit the displayed images)
:DisableImages
Enable imager if it is disabled
:EnableImages
Toggle imager being enabled or disabled
:ToggleImages
Forcibly reload all displayed images
:ReloadImages
