Image.vim

The Image.vim Original project is Unmainteined.

View images in Vim, because Vim is awesome!

Features

• Let's you open (preview) images in Vim!: Image supported:
  • .png
  • .jpg
  • .jpeg
  • .webp
• It's safe, never modifies the original image (unless you force write)
• Adapted to work with python3 instead of python2

Requirements

• Vim with python support. You can verify if your Vim is compiled with python using:

  vim --version | grep python

  If you see +python, your Vim has python support. If not, compile or install yourself a vim with python support.

  In arch:

  sudo pacman -S gvim
  

  In Debian based:

  sudo apt install vim-gtk
  

  It will install gvim which include vim with python support and a GTK application of vim.
  You will be asked to remove Vim, but relax, you will keep the option of use vim in terminal.

• Also needs the Python library PIL. You can install PIL using pip install Pillow

Errors

Not an error but a deficit, it doesn't work well with image that are full colored like Screenshots, because the plugin uses Ascii characters.

Thank you!
