I quite like that as well, it works very well in ranger. However, I was in awe at libsixel's support of animated pictures. I'm not sure how that's done, probably just re-drawing still images? That got me thinking: as kitty supports displaying images from shared memory, couldn't it just expose a buffer for the app to draw inside? Going further, it would be an interesting experiment to make the terminal a fully working "wayland compositor", maybe with some extensions to control buffer placement with escape codes. What would it bring? It seems that the most stable API for application development has been the command line interface. Going further, I'd be interested in running a terminal emulator such as kitty as the sole application on a TTY, like a fbcon replacement.
