## Historique du projet et usages

fancy-cat is a terminal PDF viewer built around the Kitty image protocol. Its README describes a modal interface, runtime configuration, key mappings, command mode, hot reload, status bar, page navigation, and dark-mode colorization.

### Historique du projet

The repository was created in November 2024 and is implemented as a Zig project. Its README presents the project as a PDF viewer for terminals that can display pages through image-capable terminal emulators such as Kitty, Ghostty, and WezTerm.

### Historique d'adoption

Official adoption information is modest: the README points to packaging status across repositories and the package appears in Homebrew and Nix through the input facts. The project is still young and the official sources do not support a broad adoption claim.

### Modes d'utilisation

The primary command is `fancy-cat <path-to-pdf> <optional-page-number>`. Once running, users navigate through a modal interface similar to Neovim and can enter command mode with `:` by default.

Configuration is JSON and lives under the XDG config directory when available, with fallback and legacy locations documented by the README.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

fancy-cat is interesting to terminal-tool users because it packages graphical PDF reading as a shell-native workflow. It belongs to the recent wave of CLI applications that rely on modern terminal image protocols instead of opening a separate GUI viewer.

### Chronologie

- 2024: Repository created.
- 2024: v0.1.0 tag published.
- 2026: v0.6.0 tag present.

### Related projects
