Vimiv is an image viewer with vim-like keybindings. It is written in python3 using the Gtk3 toolkit. Some of the features are:

• Thumbnail mode
• Simple library browser
• Basic image editing
• Command line with tab completion

The complete documentation is not included in this manpage but is available at:

⟨http://karlch.github.io/vimiv/documentation/⟩

-b,  --bar

-f,  --fullscreen

start in fullscreen

-h,  --help

display a simple help text

-l,  --library

-r,  --recursive

-s,  --shuffle

-v,  --version

--start-from-desktop

--slideshow

start in slideshow mode

--slideshow-delay SLIDESHOW_DELAY

-g,  --geometry GEOMETRY

--temp-basedir

--config FILE

use FILE as local configuration file instead of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vimiv/vimivrc and ~/.vimiv/vimivrc.

--debug

All capitals negate the setting, so e.g. -B means do not display the statusbar. For the long version prepend no-, e.g. --no-bar.

Probably. Please contact me under <karlch at protonmail dot com> or, even better, open an issue on the github homepage.
