## 项目历史与用法

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.

### 项目历史

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.

### 采用历史

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.

### 使用方式

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.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

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.
