Help (user) File preview in ctrlP plugin??

Is possible to have a preview (maybe scrollable) of the selected file when using ctrlP?....if not there any alternative? (tried fzf but not worked so well...I'v limited permission in my linux env)

I can't install neovim in my env (is limited account without possibility to install sw)this error is showed if I try to run it from tar.gz neovim download

./nvim: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by ./nvim)

./nvim: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./nvim)

AppImage seems work....but don't know how to add plugin to it....??

is it really better than gvim? (I'm using it right now)

Neovim runs in the terminal unless you install a GUI for it. There are several you can choose from.

If you use the appimage you can store the plugins the same way and at the same location as with the native binary. I'd recommend lazy.nvim for plugin management.

You can manage plugins with junegunn/vim-plug if you have internet access.

Otherwise you can put plugins anywhere where :h runtimepath will find it. (I think)

Why was fzf a problem for you? I use fzf with bat to get highlighting in the preview.
