Pinning them makes the scroll with the text. Without this it lets tmux decide which results in the image floating overtop of your terminal - in the way and hard to get rid of.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added virtual image placement using Unicode placeholders alongside direct terminal positioning.
    • Added automatic terminal cell geometry detection for accurate, aspect-ratio-preserving image sizing.
    • Added support for static and animated images across supported placement modes.
    • Added terminal and multiplexer capability detection, including nested passthrough handling.
    • Added the --placement option for selecting image placement behavior.

  • Bug Fixes

    • Added warnings when tmux passthrough is unavailable or disabled.

  • Documentation

    • Expanded guidance for terminal detection, tmux configuration, passthrough overrides, and image placement options.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds terminal geometry detection and Unicode placeholder support for Kitty images. It adds auto, unicode, and direct placement modes, tmux passthrough handling, placement-aware animation output, tests, and documentation.

Changes

Virtual Image Placement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Terminal capability and geometry resolution
src/terminal.rs, src/geometry.rs		 Terminal queries expose XTWINOPS responses and placeholder support. Geometry detection uses pty data, tmux metadata, terminal queries, or defaults. Image dimensions convert to bounded cell sizes.
Unicode placeholder encoding
src/placeholder.rs		 The new module encodes image IDs and grid coordinates with Kitty placeholder characters, diacritics, colors, row separators, and bounds. Tests cover protocol values and grid output.
Kitty placement-aware rendering
src/kitty.rs		 PNG and animation APIs accept Placement. Virtual placement emits quiet Kitty headers followed by unwrapped placeholder grids. Tests cover IDs, headers, animations, and multiplexer wrapping.
CLI placement selection and rendering integration
src/main.rs, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, minimal.toml		 The CLI selects placement from terminal capabilities, passthrough settings, image dimensions, and geometry. Static and animated rendering share the placement path. Documentation and release notes describe the new behavior, and the upstream pin is updated.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c788e

The change makes images stay aligned with scrolling text under tmux; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit reviews each cell in a row
Geometry tells where the pixels should go
Kitty sends images, quiet and bright
Placeholders anchor them just right
The terminal hops onward through tmux tonight

- Around line 113-115: Update pick_image_id() to derive non-zero image IDs from
the larger virtual ID space supported by the third diacritic, rather than
limiting results to 255 values; preserve deterministic PID-based generation and
avoid zero. Add a regression test covering distinct colliding process IDs, such
as 13 and 42, and verify they produce different image IDs.
