Very nice; I wish I knew more about curses so as to add a media handler so
as to view images, etc without exiting the client.

Well, sacc doesn't use curses, and rendering images inline would be a
terminal feature, not curses.
But you don't need to exit sacc to display images, it'll launch an
external viewer (through xdg-open by default but you can configure
this) to open any file it doesn't handle (actually sacc do not handle
any file).

Hmm, it sort of looks like it's linked to curses:

% ldd /usr/local/bin/sacc
/usr/local/bin/sacc:
-lcurses.7 => /usr/lib/libcurses.so.7
-lterminfo.1 => /usr/lib/libterminfo.so.1
-lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
-lgcc_s.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

This is on a netbsd/i386 system with no significant tweaks to the Makefile.

At least on NetBSD you can probably build sacc with just:

% make LIBS=-lterminfo

I have no idea though if this can be problematic on other platforms
(I guess so).
