## ✨ Features

- View images in Neovim.
- Zoom in and out using keybindings.
- Rotate the image with configurable keybindings.
- Pan the image using arrow keys or specific keybindings.
- Automatically scale and adjust images for optimal viewing.


## ⚙️  Installation

Use your prefferred package manager to install PicVim.


### Eg. Using lazy.nvim

If you use [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim), you can install PicVim by adding the following to your configuration:


```lua
{
    "Toprun123/PicVim",
    config = function()
        require'picvim'.setup()
    end,
},
```

## 🔧 Setup and Configuration

To configure the plugin, add the following to your init.lua or any other configuration file:
You can set custom keymaps using the `keymap` option.

```lua
require'picvim'.setup({
    keymap = {                            -- Default keymaps
        move_left = { "<Left>", "h" },    -- Pan left
        move_right = { "<Right>", "l" },  -- Pan right
        move_down = { "<Down>", "j" },    -- Pan down
        move_up = { "<Up>", "k" },        -- Pan up
        zoom_in = { "=", "+" },           -- Zoom in
        zoom_out = { "-", "_" },          -- Zoom out
        rotate_clockwise = "t",           -- Rotate clockwise by 30 degrees
        rotate_counterclockwise = "T",    -- Rotate counterclockwise by 30 degrees
        reset = "o",                      -- Reset image
        rerender = "r",                   -- Rerender image
    }
})
```

## 🛠️ Autocommands

The plugin automatically activates for image files (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .bmp) upon opening. It sets the buffer to a "non-file" type to display the image correctly.

## ⌨️  Default Keybindings

    h, Left Arrow – Pan left.
    l, Right Arrow – Pan right.
    j, Down Arrow – Pan down.
    k, Up Arrow – Pan up.
    =, + – Zoom in.
    -, _ – Zoom out.
    t – Rotate clockwise (30 degrees).
    T – Rotate counterclockwise (30 degrees).
    o – Reset image position and rotation.
    r – Rerender the image.
