fzf --preview 'imgcat -W $FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS -H $FZF_PREVIEW_LINES {}'
Notes:
* There is no good way to determine the height of the rendered image,
so we assume that the image takes the full height of the preview
window. So the image cannot be displayed with the other text.
* fzf-preview.sh script was updated to use `imgcat` if it's available
but `chafa` is not.
* iTerm2 also supports Sixel, so adding support for this protocol is not
quite necessary but it renders animated GIFs much better (e.g. looping).
Progress:
* Sixel image can now be displayed with other text, and is scrollable
* If an image can't be displayed entirely due to the scroll offset, fzf
will render a wireframe to indicate that an image should be displayed
* Renamed $FZF_PREVIEW_{WIDTH,HEIGHT} to $FZF_PREVIEW_PIXEL_{WIDTH,HEIGHT}
for clarity
* Added bin/fzf-preview.sh script to demonstrate how to display an image
using Kitty or Sixel protocol
An example:
ls *.jpg | fzf --preview='seq $((FZF_PREVIEW_LINES*9/10)); fzf-preview.sh {}; seq 100'
A known issue:
* If you reduce the size of the preview window, the image may extend
beyond the preview window
# Scrolling will behave similarly to CTRL-E and CTRL-Y of vim
fzf --bind scroll-up:offset-up,scroll-down:offset-down \
--bind ctrl-y:offset-up,ctrl-e:offset-down \
--scroll-off=5

* Works inside and outside of tmux
* There is a problem where fzf unnecessarily displays the scroll offset
indicator at the topbright of the screen when the image just fits the
preview window. This is because `kitty icat` generates an extra line
after the image area.
# A 5-row images; an extra row at the end confuses fzf

# to redraw the image on terminal resize or on 'change-preview-window',

Can we find a better name? I have considered the followings.
* 'point', because "the pointer" points to the current item.
* 'shift', 'switch', 'move', etc. These are not technically correct
because the current item can change without cursor movement (--tac,
reload, search update)
* 'change' is already taken. 'change-current' feels a bit wordy and
sounds wrong, 'current-changed' is wordy and doesn't go well with the
other event names
* 'target', not straightforward
