An incredibly simple plugin that adds an easy command for saving 3rd/image.nvim images.

with Lazy:

{ "benlubas/image-save.nvim", cmd = "SaveImage" },

The :SaveImage command will find the nearest image to your cursor in the current window, and either:

• Prompt you to save that image if no path is provided
• Save directly to the specified path if provided (e.g. :SaveImage path/to/save.png)

You can map this command to a key combination, for example:

vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('n', '<leader>is', ':SaveImage /tmp/test.png<CR>')

The command supports file path completion, so you can use to complete paths.

The file path (whether entered in prompt or passed to command) is used in a cp command from the current working directory. So you can pass ~/path/to/cwd/image.png or just image.png and those are the same.

Yes I know the command and the plugin title are 'backwards' :SaveImage makes more sense, but save-image.nvim makes it seem like I'm some type of Messiah

You do not need to call setup unless you want to enable the mouse menu option.

require("image-save").setup({
    -- Add a "Save Image" option to the Popup menu.
    -- This lets you "right click > save" an image.
    -- Will remove "How to Disable Mouse" from the Popup menu.
    enable_mouse = true
})

This plugin is made for use with the molten-nvim plugin to allow users to easily save their plots/charts. Go check it out.
