This PR adds basic tmux support for rendering images with the Kitty graphics protocol.

  • Passthrough is working
  • Positioning is not

Proper positioning requires using Unicode placeholders:

Motivation: I often get asked why fancy-cat doesn’t work in tmux. Other backends such as chafa, timg, and others have implemented similar support.

This is a rough draft and not production-ready. I will have limited time to continue, so others are welcome to take it further.
