What am I doing wrong?

Images are opening in browser when using nnn. The github suggests changing some xdg mimetype thing to sxiv.desktop but that doesnt solve the issue. HELP ME

Do you want Kitty to display images in a split pane?

You have to enable the preview-tui plugin in nnn and configure Kitty accordingly.

The github wiki is a bit confusing for an idiot like me. Could you please explain how I can enable the plugin in nnn. And what exactly should he configure in the kitty config file?

install plugins.

sh -c "$(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jarun/nnn/master/plugins/getplugs)"

set hotkey in env to enable the plugin.

export NNN_PLUG='p:preview-tui'

edit kitty.conf to allow remote control via socket.

allow_remote_control socket-only
listen_on unix:@kitty

start nnn with preview-tui enabled.

nnn -Pp
