+
+# Description: tabbed/xembed based file previewer
+#
+# Note: This plugin needs a "NNN_FIFO" to work. See man.
+#
+# Shell: Bash (job control is weakly specified in POSIX)
+# 
+# Dependencies:
+#  - tabbed (https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed): xembed host
+#  - xterm (or urxvt or st) : xembed client for text-based preview
+#  - mpv (https://mpv.io): xembed client for video/audio
+#  - sxiv (https://github.com/muennich/sxiv): xembed client for images
+#  - zathura (https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura): xembed client for PDF documents
+#  - nnn's nuke plugin for text preview and fallback (should be in plugins directory)
+#    nuke is a fallback for 'mpv', 'sxiv', and 'zathura', but it has has its own
+#    dependencies, see the script itself
+#  - vim (or any editor/pager really)
+#  - file
+#  - xdotool (optional, to keep main window focused)
+#
+# How to use:
+#  First, install the dependencies. Then 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-tabbed` 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.
+#
+# How it works:
+#   We use `tabbed` [1] as a xembed [2] host, to have a single window
+#   owning each previewer window. So each previewer must be a xembed client.
+#   For text previewers, this is not an issue, as there are a lot of
+#   xembed-able terminal emulator (we default to `xterm`, but examples are
+#   provided for `urxvt` and `st`). For graphic preview this can be trickier,
+#   but a few popular viewers are xembed-able, we use:
+#     - `mpv`: multimedia player, for video/audio preview
+#     - `sxiv`: image viewer
+#     - `zathura`: PDF viewer
+#     - but we allways fallback to `nuke` plugin
