I browse w3m with an images plugin. On normal terminals and even (typically minimally-featureful) virtual terminals I can see images. But when I browse with w3m in tmux the images don't show up.

If this were an ssh connection I would probably try ssh -Y to let the images through. Is there a way to do something similar with tmux?

    How do you see images in "normal" terminals? It pops up a new window, or it will be converted to an ASCII-art form?

  • @GaborGarami There is a plugin for w3m called w3m-img which handles it.

  • @GaborGarami The normal <kbd>I</kbd> way of seeing w3m images with feh is a good comparison though. I would use ssh -Y to get the image sent to my computer but I wouldn't be able to see the popup feh image from tmux because of the same reason as my problem above.

    Check value of DISPLAY environment variable before you enter tmux session and after you enter to it. ssh -Y works very simple: sends everything to X server defined in DISPLAY.
