Description
Hi, I'm trying to install the plugin, I've tried this in visidata 2.4 as well as after upgrading to 2.6.1.
Apparently the 2.x version strips whitespace before hashing, and encodes to utf-8 ; too bad the docs weren't properly updated. There's now a utility in visidata/dev/vdhash.py to create a similar hash. I ran it and it generated this hash:
94cc1b0afcf7dbcbe93ca421104a2252c411448d59ba75df00ae455d3577934a
I tried setting in the open-plugins settings, and it fixed the issue. If you're happy, I can submit a PR to saulpw/visidata to correct the plugin hash there, as well as maybe some docs (if I can find them)

Research direction
Start with visidata/dev/vdhash.py and the open-plugins settings to verify how the plugin SHA256 is generated and configured. Update the plugin hash to the reported value, then confirm installation succeeds with the corrected setting; check the related documentation if its hash instructions are also present.
