+# Description: File previewer for kitty term using NNN_FIFO
+#
+# Dependencies:
+#   - kitty (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) with allow_remote_control on
+#   - file
+#   - exa (https://github.com/ogham/exa) (fallback: ls)
+#   - bat (https://github.com/sharkdp/bat) (fallback: cat)
+#   - mediainfo (fallback: file)
+#
+# Usage:
+#   This plugin only works in kitty (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/),
+#   and with kitty's 'allow_remote_control' option turned on.
+#   You need to set a NNN_FIFO path and set a key for the plugin,
+#   then start `nnn`:
+#
+#     $ NNN_FIFO=/tmp/nnn.fifo nnn
+#
+#   Then in `nnn`, launch the `preview-kitty` plugin.
+#
+#   If you provide the same NNN_FIFO to all nnn instances, there will be a
+#   single common preview window. I you provide different FIFO path, they
+#   will be independent.
+#
+# Shell: POSIX compliant
+# Authors: Léo Villeveygoux
