docs/sharing.ans · Sharing

Copy your art as an image or text, publish a gist, or upload a PNG, from one menu.

The share menu

Alt-E (or Ctrl-Shift-E, or palette › Share…) opens the share menu.

1. Copy as PNG image, ready to paste into chat.
2. Copy as ANSI (UTF-8), for terminals and code blocks.
3. Copy as plain text.
4. Publish a GitHub gist, as .ans and .utf8ans. This needs the gh command.
5. Upload the PNG to a paste host and copy the link.
6. Export to file…, in any format.

Paste host and image size

The paste host and the PNG scale are set in the [share] section of the config:

[share]
paste_url = "https://0x0.st"
png_scale = 2

Other ways out

• Palette › Copy selection as ANSI text copies just the selection.
• The Export panel writes many files at once.
• Draw together shares the drawing live.
