Can either be a 6-digit hexadecimal colour code, + or 'checks' for a chequered background. Defaults to '000000' + +*fullscreen* = <true|false>:: + Start imv fullscreen. Defaults to 'false'. + +*list_files_at_exit* = <true|false>:: + Print open files to stdout at exit, each on a separate line. + Defaults to 'false'. + +*loop_input* = <true|false>:: + Return to first image after viewing the last one. Defaults to 'true'. + +*overlay* = <true|false>:: + Start with the overlay visible. Defaults to 'false'. + +*overlay_font* = <typeface:size>:: + Use the specified font in the overlay. Defaults to 'Monospace:24'. + +*overlay_text* = <text>:: + Use the given text as the overlay's text. The provided text is shell + expanded, so the output of commands can be used: '$(ls)' as can environment + variables, including the ones accessible to imv's 'exec' command. + +*recursively* = <true|false>:: + Load input paths recursively. Defaults to 'false'. + +*scaling_mode* = <none|shrink|full>:: + Set scaling mode to use. 'none' will show each image at its actual size. + 'shrink' will scale down the image to fit inside the window. 'full' will + both scale up and scale down the image to fit perfectly inside the window. + Defaults to 'full'. + +*slideshow_duration* = <duration>:: + Start imv in slideshow mode, and set the amount of time to show each image + for in seconds. Defaults to '0', i.e. no slideshow. + +*stay_fullscreen_on_focus_loss* = <true|false>:: + Stay full screen even when imv loses focus. Defaults to 'false'. + +*suppess_default_binds* = <true|false>:: + Disable imv's built-in binds so they don't conflict with custom ones. + Defaults to 'false'. + +*title_text* = <text>:: + Use the given text as the window's title. The provided text is shell + expanded, so the output of commands can be used: '$(ls)' as can environment + variables, including the ones accessible to imv's 'exec' command. + +*upscaling_method* = <linear|nearest_neighbour>:: + Use the specified method to upscale images. Defaults to 'linear'. + +Aliases +------- + +The *[aliases]* section allows imv's commands to be aliases. For example: +'q = quit' would add a 'q' command that simply executes the 'quit' command. +And 'next = select_rel 1' would add a 'next' command to imv. + +Binds +----- + +The *[binds]* section allows custom key bindings to be added to imv. + +Binds are in the format 'key combination = command'. A key combination can +consist of multiple keys in succession. + +Single keys such as 'q' are just that: 'q = quit' will bind the 'q' key to the +'quit' command. + +Modifier keys can be specified by prefixing them: 'Ctrl+q', 'Meta+f', +'Shift+g'. If multiple modifier keys are desired, they are specified in the +order 'Ctrl+Meta+Shift'. When a key's name is more than a single character, +or a modifier is used it must be wrapped in '<' and '>', for example: +'<Ctrl+q>'. + +Multiple keys in succession can be specified by listing them in order: +'gg = select_abs 0' will bind two presses of the 'g' key to jump to the first +image, and '<Ctrl+a>p = exec echo hi' will bind the key sequence of 'Ctrl+a' +followed by 'p' to executing the shell command 'echo hi'. + +N.B. Special characters such as '!' are not named directly, and are accessed +by their regular key, combined with the shift modifier: 'Shift+1'. + +Some keys, such as '<', and '>' have special names, to avoid conflits with +the bind syntax, or the config file format. Other keys with no character +associated with them, such as the 'Return' key or the arrow keys also have +special names. These are as follows: + +*Application*:: + The Application / Compose / Context Menu / Alt Gr key. + +*AudioMute*:: + The mute volume key. + +*AudioNext*:: + The next track media key. + +*AudioPlay*:: + The play media key. + +*AudioPrev*:: + The previous track media key. + +*AudioStop*:: + The stop media key. + +*Backspace*:: + The backspace key. + +*BrightnessDown*:: + The brightness down key. + +*BrightnessUp*:: + The brightness up key. + +*Cancel*:: + The cancel key. + +*Clear*:: + The clear key. + +*Delete*:: + The delete key. + +*Down*:: + The down arrow key. + +*Eject*:: + The eject key. + +*End*:: + The end key. + +*Escape*:: + The Esc / escape key. + +*Equals*:: + The = key. + +*F<1-24>*:: + The F keys. + +*Home*:: + The home key. + +*Keypad <00|000|0-9>*:: + The numeric keypad number keys. + +*Keypad Backspace*:: + The numeric keypad backspace key. + +*Keypad Clear*:: + The numeric keypad clear key. + +*Keypad Enter*:: + The numeric keypad enter key. + +*Keypad -*:: + The numeric keypad subtract key. + +*Keypad +*:: + The numeric keypad add key. + +**Left*:: + The left arrow key. + +LeftSquareBracket*:: + The [ key. + +*Mute*:: + The mute key. + +*PageDown*:: + The page down key. + +*PageUp*:: + The page down key. + +*Pause*:: + The pause key. + +*Return*:: + The return / enter key. + +*Right*:: + The right arrow key. + +*RightSquareBracket*:: + The ] key. + +*Space*:: + The space bar. + +*Up*:: + The up arrow key. + +*VolumeDown*:: + The volume down key. + +*VolumeUp*:: + The volume up key. + +See Also +-------- + +**imv**(1) |
