    Uses "\e[c" to automatically detect sixel support:

    "\e[c" is "send device attributes":

  3. Mosh

    Mobile Shell

    I use tmux, but as far as unreliable connections, I've found mosh[0] to be the best solution to the problem (when you have the ability to install it). It basically runs a background process on connection not tied to the session that your client will automatically reconnect to if the connection fails. I regularly close my laptop, travel between home and work, open it back up and the connection is available almost instantly.

  4. fzf

    :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

    fzf has "(Experimental) Sixel image support in preview window (not available on Windows)" since version 0.44.0

    fzf --preview='fzf-preview.sh {}'

  5. timg

    A terminal image and video viewer.

  6. catimg

    🦦 Insanely fast image printing in your terminal

  7. wezterm

    A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust

    I started using wezterm recently and really like it. It's cross platform and supports sixel graphics.
