various: define builtin options and key bindings for images
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This makes mpv a good image viewer out of the box, as it is currently
hard to setup.

It adds a builtin image conditional profile that users can extend in
mpv.conf. It is written to not restore and reapply the options on each
image change, because that is slow for certain options (e.g.
--d3d11-flip=no restarts the VO), and causes visible flicker when
options like gamma are unapplied before changing image and reapplied on
the next image. But it still restores the previous options after
switching to a video or audio file.

etc/image-input.conf defines default key bindings for image, and
~/.config/mpv/image-input.conf can override them. sxiv is the main
inspiration for the default key bindings.

Files called image-input.conf are added to an input section called
image, and builtin.conf enables it for images and disables it for
non-images. Because enable-section and disable-section are only called
in builtin.conf, they can be replaced with a different mechanism when
deprecated input sections are removed without a breaking change.

Image Bindings
--------------

Several key bindings are changed when viewing images:

LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, h, j, k, l
Pan the image when it is larger than the window.

Ctrl+LEFT, Ctrl+RIGHT, Ctrl+UP, Ctrl+DOWN, Ctrl+h, Ctrl+j, Ctrl+k, Ctrl+l
Align the image to one of the boundaries of the window when it is larger
than the window.

= and -
Change the zoom.

+ and _
Change the zoom slowly.

0
Reset the zoom.

u
Toggle between fitting the image to the window and showing it in the
original dimensions.

o
Fill the window with the image.

s
Toggle between showing images for 5 seconds in a slideshow and keeping them
open forever.

n
Go to the next playlist entry.

p
Go to the previous playlist entry.

N
Go to the next sub-playlist (e.g. directory or achive).

P
Go to the previous sub-playlist.

g-g
Go to the first playlist entry.

G
Go to the last playlist entry.

]
Skip 10 playlist entries forwards.

[
Skip 10 playlist entries backwards.

r and R
Rotate counterclockwise.

t
Rotate clockwise.

v
Rotate by 180 degrees.

Right click
Pan while holding the button keeping the clicked part of the image under the
cursor.

Wheel up/down
Change the zoom while keeping the part of the image hovered by the cursor
under it.

This feature is subject to change indefinitely. You might be forced to
adjust your profiles on mpv updates.

Image profile
-------------------

mpv has a builtin conditional profile that is automatically applied to images
and restored when switching to a video or audio file. Its options are:

.. admonition:: Builtin profile definition

::

[image]
osc=no
prefetch-playlist
input-preprocess-wheel=no

It can be extended in mpv.conf without overwriting it completely:

.. admonition:: Example to enable the screensaver with images

::

[image]
stop-screensaver=no

This profile uses ``--input-commands`` to enable image specific key bindings.
This can be disabled with ``input-commands-clr``. Extra commands should be
specified with ``input-commands-append`` to keep enabling the image key
bindings.

To reset zoom and rotation between images, it is recommended to place
``reset-on-next-file=video-rotate,video-zoom,panscan,video-unscaled`` in the top
level of mpv.conf, as enabling it a conditional profile makes it take effect
only from the second file.
