Idiomatic Way to Designate Custom Previewer for preview-tui Plugin

[pa-0]

Hi all,

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to set custom previewer app as default for the preview-tui plugin. Is there a correct way to do this that doesn't involve rewriting the bash script provided as an example?

custom previewer app

Which one specifically?

That looks like it opens a separate window. preview-tui is meant for terminal preview.

Yes, it opens a native Quick Look window. Would this not work with nnn?

For preview-tui, no. It could work with preview-tabbed but I have no clue whether tabbed works on macos or not and I don't use macos.

There's no reason this couldn't work with preview-tui really. Both the TERMINAL and QUICKLOOK options already open a separate window for the preview.
But yes each added previewer needs to be added with the right flags to start_preview().

Thanks for the info. I assume it will be easier to configure if I use preview-tabbed as opposed to trying to set it up with preview-tui.
