Variable: ghostel-kitty-graphics-mediums

ghostel-kitty-graphics-mediums is a customizable variable defined in ghostel-kitty.el.

Value

(file temp-file shared-mem)

Documentation

Image-loading mediums to enable for the Kitty graphics protocol.

The direct medium (base64 inline, used by timg and yazi) is always enabled. The others let the program name data on the local machine:
- file: a local file, read by the terminal (broot PNG previews)
- temp-file: a temp file, read and unlinked (broot, ranger)
- shared-mem: a POSIX shared-memory region

The default matches Ghostty and kitty. A program running remotely
(SSH, tmux passthrough) can use these mediums to make ghostel display
a local file; set this to nil to accept inline data only.
