Features

• show previews inline
• open other files in preview etc

kscript is not a REPL/interactive shell but a rather a script interpreter, so how/where would this fit it?

Even so, this looks interesting. Is it possible to similar image inlining in the regular macos terminal as well? Is it feasible to do something similar under linux (e.g. ubuntu)?

I'm not using it as a repl. I'm moving some examples I wrote in Java/jjs to kscript

I see, nice idea. Shouldn't this work already if you declare the oksocial library as a script dependency?

Yep, that's why I put it as "Feature Suggestion", feel free to close.

I think it's a useful feature for kscript to support opening media in the best platform supported method available. This might be inline for iTerm, or on linux calling gnome-open or similar.
