[Feature request]: Sixel Image Preview As now Fzf supports that.

Problem

Why do we need this feature?
So that terminals having sixel support can easily show thumbnails.

Feature

Description of your proposed feature.

chafa -f sixel -s "''${FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS}x''${FZF_PREVIEW_LINES}" "$2" --animate false

This is the command i use in my fzf preview script to handle images.

This is the issue i am facing.

The thumbnail size is slightly bigger than the size of fzf preview box.
so fzf only renders bordered box and shows the image when the preview window is scrolled.

I guess reduction of the thumbnail dimensions would be a option to fix this
