Description Jan Beich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-01-08 16:49:29 UTC 
Created attachment 230824 [details]
v1 (apply via "git am")

Modern terminal emulators can render images e.g.,
- x11/foot supports sixel
- x11/kitty supports kitty (protocol)
- x11/wezterm supports sixel, iterm, kitty
- x11/xterm supports sixel

For example, to view web pages in a Wayland-only environment:

$ pkg install cage w3m libsixel foot
$ cage foot w3m -o inline_img_protocol=2 https://en.wikipedia.org/

Note, cage will spawn in a separate window if run under Xorg or another Wayland compositor.

    www/w3m: always enable non-external image support

    Allows to view images via mlterm/iterm/sixel/kitty protocols
    while avoiding X11 depends on Wayland.
