thumb: popup images and render LaTeX directly in Vim
I made a small Vim 9.2+ plugin called thumb . Put the cursor on an image path → :Thumb → popup the image. Select LaTeX in Visual mode → :Thumb → render it as an image popup. For example:  Put the cursor on diagram.png and run: : Thumb Or select: \frac { a }{ b } = \sqrt { x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 } and run: : Thumb It uses Vim's native popup image support, with Python/Pillow for image conversion and matplotlib for LaTeX rendering. No mappings are installed, so you can add your own: nnoremap < leader > t < Cmd > Thumb < CR > xnoremap < leader > t < Cmd > Thumb < CR > GitHub: https://github.com/JosefAlbers/thumb Requires Vim 9.2+, Python 3, Pillow, and matplotlib. Feedback welcome, particularly around the popup positioning/rendering.
