Configs as demo?

[tvhung83]

Hi everyone,
I'm using nnn on Arch Linux and trying to make it look and behave more like the demo, but I’m stuck on a few things:

1. Icons – I installed nnn-icons from the AUR, but the icons aren’t displaying correctly. Does anyone know which font I should be using for them to show properly?
2. Live preview without using a prefix key – I saw a demo where hovering over files showed a live preview (including GIFs and Excel sheets). Which plugin enables this? Also, does it work with the foot terminal and under Wayland?
3. Borders and colored tabs – I noticed panels with borders and tab numbers with different colors. How is this achieved? Is it part of nnn or a terminal/tmux setup?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Everything is in wiki, recommend reading

1. https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/Advanced-use-cases#file-icons, nnn-icons use icons-in-terminal you need to configure those if you want to have sensible default look, I use nerd instead.
2. https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/Live-previews, you need tmux for foot

I installed nnn-icons from the AUR

I recommend using either nerd icons or emoji icons. The nnn-icons version uses icons-in-terminal. I tried to use it a long time ago, but was never able to get it working.

Emojis should work out of the box for most people. Nerd icon only requires you to install a nerd font and set it as your terminal default. Both of these options are much easier to get working than icons-in-terminal.

Other than that, @darukutsu has provided a bunch of relavant links. I recommend following them, if you get stuck on something you can comment here.

Hey, sorry for the late response. Really appreciate your quick support, @darukutsu and @N-R-K — thanks a lot! I tried preview-tui, but it was asking for a key prefix. Now I realize I just needed to activate preview once. Thanks again, guys. Cheers!
