Quick Start
With a file path:
termvisage path/to/image.png

With a URL:
termvisage https://www.example.com/image.png

With a directory, recursively (not currently supported on Windows):
termvisage -r path/to/dir/

If a single source is given and it's animated (GIF, APNG, Animated WebP), the animation is infinitely looped by default and can be stopped with Ctrl-C (SIGINT).
By default, if multiple sources or at least one directory source is given, the TUI (Terminal User Interface) is launched to navigate through the images and/or directories.
Usage
CLI (Command-Line Interface)
Run termvisage --help to see the basic help message or termvisage --long-help for the full help message.
See the CLI manual.
TUI (Terminal User Interface)
The controls are context-based and always displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Pressing the F1 key (in most contexts) brings up a help menu describing the available controls (called actions) in that context.
The TUI can be configured using a config file. See the Configuration section of the docs.
Here is a config file with Vim-style key-bindings (majorly navigation).
See the TUI manual.
