ctpv

Terminal previewer

ctpv is a terminal previewer utility that supports a variety of built-in previews (including image previews with Überzug).

ctpv is a remake of awesome program named stpv but it's written in C. stpv worked perfectly for me, except it was kinda sluggish because it was written in POSIX shell. ctpv is an attempt to make a faster version of stpv and add some new features.

Originally it was made for lf but I assume it should not be hard to integrate ctpv into other programs (if they support external programs for providing previews like lf, of course).
