#: Fonts {{{
|
||
|
||
#: kitty has very powerful font management. You can configure
|
||
#: individual font faces and even specify special fonts for particular
|
||
#: characters.
|
||
|
||
# font_family monospace
|
||
# bold_font auto
|
||
# italic_font auto
|
||
# bold_italic_font auto
|
||
|
||
#: You can specify different fonts for the bold/italic/bold-italic
|
||
#: variants. To get a full list of supported fonts use the `kitty
|
||
#: +list-fonts` command. By default they are derived automatically, by
|
||
#: the OSes font system. When bold_font or bold_italic_font is set to
|
||
#: auto on macOS, the priority of bold fonts is semi-bold, bold,
|
||
#: heavy. Setting them manually is useful for font families that have
|
||
#: many weight variants like Book, Medium, Thick, etc. For example::
|
||
|
||
#: font_family Operator Mono Book
|
||
#: bold_font Operator Mono Medium
|
||
#: italic_font Operator Mono Book Italic
|
||
#: bold_italic_font Operator Mono Medium Italic
|
||
|
||
font_family RobotoMonoNFM-Rg
|
||
bold_font RobotoMonoNFM-Bd
|
||
italic_font RobotoMonoNFM-It
|
||
bold_italic_font RobotoMonoNFM-BdIt
|
||
|
||
# font_size 11.0
|
||
|
||
#: Font size (in pts).
|
||
|
||
# force_ltr no
|
||
|
||
#: kitty does not support BIDI (bidirectional text), however, for RTL
|
||
#: scripts, words are automatically displayed in RTL. That is to say,
|
||
#: in an RTL script, the words "HELLO WORLD" display in kitty as
|
||
#: "WORLD HELLO", and if you try to select a substring of an RTL-
|
||
#: shaped string, you will get the character that would be there had
|
||
#: the string been LTR. For example, assuming the Hebrew word ירושלים,
|
||
#: selecting the character that on the screen appears to be ם actually
|
||
#: writes into the selection buffer the character י. kitty's default
|
||
#: behavior is useful in conjunction with a filter to reverse the word
|
||
#: order, however, if you wish to manipulate RTL glyphs, it can be
|
||
#: very challenging to work with, so this option is provided to turn
|
||
#: it off. Furthermore, this option can be used with the command line
|
||
#: program GNU FriBidi <https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi#executable>
|
||
#: to get BIDI support, because it will force kitty to always treat
|
||
#: the text as LTR, which FriBidi expects for terminals.
|
||
|
||
# symbol_map
|
||
|
||
#: E.g. symbol_map U+E0A0-U+E0A3,U+E0C0-U+E0C7 PowerlineSymbols
|
||
|
||
#: Map the specified Unicode codepoints to a particular font. Useful
|
||
#: if you need special rendering for some symbols, such as for
|
||
#: Powerline. Avoids the need for patched fonts. Each Unicode code
|
||
#: point is specified in the form `U+<code point in hexadecimal>`. You
|
||
#: can specify multiple code points, separated by commas and ranges
|
||
#: separated by hyphens. This option can be specified multiple times.
|
||
#: The syntax is::
|
||
|
||
#: symbol_map codepoints Font Family Name
|
||
|
||
# narrow_symbols
|
||
|
||
#: E.g. narrow_symbols U+E0A0-U+E0A3,U+E0C0-U+E0C7 1
|
||
|
||
#: Usually, for Private Use Unicode characters and some symbol/dingbat
|
||
#: characters, if the character is followed by one or more spaces,
|
||
#: kitty will use those extra cells to render the character larger, if
|
||
#: the character in the font has a wide aspect ratio. Using this
|
||
#: option you can force kitty to restrict the specified code points to
|
||
#: render in the specified number of cells (defaulting to one cell).
|
||
#: This option can be specified multiple times. The syntax is::
|
||
|
||
#: narrow_symbols codepoints [optionally the number of cells]
|
||
|
||
# disable_ligatures never
|
||
|
||
#: Choose how you want to handle multi-character ligatures. The
|
||
#: default is to always render them. You can tell kitty to not render
|
||
#: them when the cursor is over them by using cursor to make editing
|
||
#: easier, or have kitty never render them at all by using always, if
|
||
#: you don't like them. The ligature strategy can be set per-window
|
||
#: either using the kitty remote control facility or by defining
|
||
#: shortcuts for it in kitty.conf, for example::
|
||
|
||
#: map alt+1 disable_ligatures_in active always
|
||
#: map alt+2 disable_ligatures_in all never
|
||
#: map alt+3 disable_ligatures_in tab cursor
|
||
|
||
#: Note that this refers to programming ligatures, typically
|
||
#: implemented using the calt OpenType feature. For disabling general
|
||
#: ligatures, use the font_features option.
|
||
|
||
# font_features
|
||
|
||
#: E.g. font_features none
|
||
|
||
#: Choose exactly which OpenType features to enable or disable. This
|
||
#: is useful as some fonts might have features worthwhile in a
|
||
#: terminal. For example, Fira Code includes a discretionary feature,
|
||
#: zero, which in that font changes the appearance of the zero (0), to
|
||
#: make it more easily distinguishable from Ø. Fira Code also includes
|
||
#: other discretionary features known as Stylistic Sets which have the
|
||
#: tags ss01 through ss20.
|
||
|
||
#: For the exact syntax to use for individual features, see the
|
||
#: HarfBuzz documentation <https://harfbuzz.github.io/harfbuzz-hb-
|
||
#: common.html#hb-feature-from-string>.
|
||
|
||
#: Note that this code is indexed by PostScript name, and not the font
|
||
#: family. This allows you to define very precise feature settings;
|
||
#: e.g. you can disable a feature in the italic font but not in the
|
||
#: regular font.
|
||
|
||
#: On Linux, font features are first read from the FontConfig database
|
||
#: and then this option is applied, so they can be configured in a
|
||
#: single, central place.
|
||
|
||
#: To get the PostScript name for a font, use `kitty +list-fonts
|
||
#: --psnames`:
|
||
|
||
#: .. code-block:: sh
|
||
|
||
#: $ kitty +list-fonts --psnames | grep Fira
|
||
#: Fira Code
|
||
#: Fira Code Bold (FiraCode-Bold)
|
||
#: Fira Code Light (FiraCode-Light)
|
||
#: Fira Code Medium (FiraCode-Medium)
|
||
#: Fira Code Regular (FiraCode-Regular)
|
||
#: Fira Code Retina (FiraCode-Retina)
|
||
|
||
#: The part in brackets is the PostScript name.
|
||
|
||
#: Enable alternate zero and oldstyle numerals::
|
||
|
||
#: font_features FiraCode-Retina +zero +onum
|
||
|
||
#: Enable only alternate zero in the bold font::
|
||
|
||
#: font_features FiraCode-Bold +zero
|
||
|
||
#: Disable the normal ligatures, but keep the calt feature which (in
|
||
#: this font) breaks up monotony::
|
||
|
||
#: font_features TT2020StyleB-Regular -liga +calt
|
||
|
||
#: In conjunction with force_ltr, you may want to disable Arabic
|
||
#: shaping entirely, and only look at their isolated forms if they
|
||
#: show up in a document. You can do this with e.g.::
|
||
|
||
#: font_features UnifontMedium +isol -medi -fina -init
|
||
|
||
# modify_font
|
||
|
||
#: Modify font characteristics such as the position or thickness of
|
||
#: the underline and strikethrough. The modifications can have the
|
||
#: suffix px for pixels or % for percentage of original value. No
|
||
#: suffix means use pts. For example::
|
||
|
||
#: modify_font underline_position -2
|
||
#: modify_font underline_thickness 150%
|
||
#: modify_font strikethrough_position 2px
|
||
|
||
#: Additionally, you can modify the size of the cell in which each
|
||
#: font glyph is rendered and the baseline at which the glyph is
|
||
#: placed in the cell. For example::
|
||
|
||
#: modify_font cell_width 80%
|
||
#: modify_font cell_height -2px
|
||
#: modify_font baseline 3
|
||
|
||
#: Note that modifying the baseline will automatically adjust the
|
||
#: underline and strikethrough positions by the same amount.
|
||
#: Increasing the baseline raises glyphs inside the cell and
|
||
#: decreasing it lowers them. Decreasing the cell size might cause
|
||
#: rendering artifacts, so use with care.
|
||
|
||
# box_drawing_scale 0.001, 1, 1.5, 2
|
||
|
||
#: The sizes of the lines used for the box drawing Unicode characters.
|
||
#: These values are in pts. They will be scaled by the monitor DPI to
|
||
#: arrive at a pixel value. There must be four values corresponding to
|
||
#: thin, normal, thick, and very thick lines.
|
||
|
||
# undercurl_style thin-sparse
|
||
|
||
#: The style with which undercurls are rendered. This option takes the
|
||
#: form (thin|thick)-(sparse|dense). Thin and thick control the
|
||
#: thickness of the undercurl. Sparse and dense control how often the
|
||
#: curl oscillates. With sparse the curl will peak once per character,
|
||
#: with dense twice.
|
||
|
||
# text_composition_strategy platform
|
||
|
||
#: Control how kitty composites text glyphs onto the background color.
|
||
#: The default value of platform tries for text rendering as close to
|
||
#: "native" for the platform kitty is running on as possible.
|
||
|
||
#: A value of legacy uses the old (pre kitty 0.28) strategy for how
|
||
#: glyphs are composited. This will make dark text on light
|
||
#: backgrounds look thicker and light text on dark backgrounds
|
||
#: thinner. It might also make some text appear like the strokes are
|
||
#: uneven.
|
||
|
||
#: You can fine tune the actual contrast curve used for glyph
|
||
#: composition by specifying up to two space-separated numbers for
|
||
#: this setting.
|
||
|
||
#: The first number is the gamma adjustment, which controls the
|
||
#: thickness of dark text on light backgrounds. Increasing the value
|
||
#: will make text appear thicker. The default value for this is 1.0 on
|
||
#: Linux and 1.7 on macOS. Valid values are 0.01 and above. The result
|
||
#: is scaled based on the luminance difference between the background
|
||
#: and the foreground. Dark text on light backgrounds receives the
|
||
#: full impact of the curve while light text on dark backgrounds is
|
||
#: affected very little.
|
||
|
||
#: The second number is an additional multiplicative contrast. It is
|
||
#: percentage ranging from 0 to 100. The default value is 0 on Linux
|
||
#: and 30 on macOS.
|
||
|
||
#: If you wish to achieve similar looking thickness in light and dark
|
||
#: themes, a good way to experiment is start by setting the value to
|
||
#: 1.0 0 and use a dark theme. Then adjust the second parameter until
|
||
#: it looks good. Then switch to a light theme and adjust the first
|
||
#: parameter until the perceived thickness matches the dark theme.
|
||
|
||
# text_fg_override_threshold 0
|
||
|
||
#: The minimum accepted difference in luminance between the foreground
|
||
#: and background color, below which kitty will override the
|
||
#: foreground color. It is percentage ranging from 0 to 100. If the
|
||
#: difference in luminance of the foreground and background is below
|
||
#: this threshold, the foreground color will be set to white if the
|
||
#: background is dark or black if the background is light. The default
|
||
#: value is 0, which means no overriding is performed. Useful when
|
||
#: working with applications that use colors that do not contrast well
|
||
#: with your preferred color scheme.
|
||
|
||
#: WARNING: Some programs use characters (such as block characters)
|
||
#: for graphics display and may expect to be able to set the
|
||
#: foreground and background to the same color (or similar colors).
|
||
#: If you see unexpected stripes, dots, lines, incorrect color, no
|
||
#: color where you expect color, or any kind of graphic display
|
||
#: problem try setting text_fg_override_threshold to 0 to see if this
|
||
#: is the cause of the problem.

|
||
#: Cursor customization {{{
|
||
|
||
# cursor #cccccc
|
||
|
||
#: Default cursor color. If set to the special value none the cursor
|
||
#: will be rendered with a "reverse video" effect. Its color will be
|
||
#: the color of the text in the cell it is over and the text will be
|
||
#: rendered with the background color of the cell. Note that if the
|
||
#: program running in the terminal sets a cursor color, this takes
|
||
#: precedence. Also, the cursor colors are modified if the cell
|
||
#: background and foreground colors have very low contrast. Note that
|
||
#: some themes set this value, so if you want to override it, place
|
||
#: your value after the lines where the theme file is included.
|
||
|
||
# cursor_text_color #111111
|
||
|
||
#: The color of text under the cursor. If you want it rendered with
|
||
#: the background color of the cell underneath instead, use the
|
||
#: special keyword: `background`. Note that if cursor is set to none
|
||
#: then this option is ignored. Note that some themes set this value,
|
||
#: so if you want to override it, place your value after the lines

||
#: where the theme file is included.
|
||
|
||
# cursor_shape block
|
||
cursor_shape block
|

#: when reloading the config this will be changed only if the cursor
|
||
#: shape has not been set by the program running in the terminal. This
|
||
#: sets the default cursor shape, applications running in the terminal
|
||
#: can override it. In particular, shell integration
|
||
#: <https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/shell-integration/> in kitty sets
|
||
#: the cursor shape to beam at shell prompts. You can avoid this by
|
||
#: setting shell_integration to no-cursor.
|
||
|
||
# cursor_shape_unfocused hollow
|
||
cursor_shape_unfocused hollow
|
||
|
||
#: Defines the text cursor shape when the OS window is not focused.
|

|
||
# cursor_beam_thickness 1.5
|

# scrollback_lines 2000
|
||
scrollback_lines 100000
|
||
|
||
#: Number of lines of history to keep in memory for scrolling back.
|
||
#: Memory is allocated on demand. Negative numbers are (effectively)
|
||
#: infinite scrollback. Note that using very large scrollback is not
|
||
#: recommended as it can slow down performance of the terminal and
|
||
#: also use large amounts of RAM. Instead, consider using
|
||
#: scrollback_pager_history_size. Note that on config reload if this
|
||
#: is changed it will only affect newly created windows, not existing
|
||
#: ones.
|
||
|
||
# scrollback_indicator_opacity 1.0
|
||
|
||
#: The opacity of the scrollback indicator which is a small colored
|
||
#: rectangle that moves along the right hand side of the window as you
|
||
#: scroll, indicating what fraction you have scrolled. The default is
|
||
#: one which means fully opaque, aka visible. Set to a value between

#: zero and one to make the indicator less visible.
|
||
|
||
# scrollback_pager less --chop-long-lines --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS +INPUT_LINE_NUMBER
|
||
|
||
#: Program with which to view scrollback in a new window. The
|
||
#: scrollback buffer is passed as STDIN to this program. If you change
|
||
#: it, make sure the program you use can handle ANSI escape sequences
|
||
#: for colors and text formatting. INPUT_LINE_NUMBER in the command
|
||
#: line above will be replaced by an integer representing which line
|
||
#: should be at the top of the screen. Similarly CURSOR_LINE and
|
||
#: CURSOR_COLUMN will be replaced by the current cursor position or
|
||
#: set to 0 if there is no cursor, for example, when showing the last
|
||
#: command output.
|
||
|
||
# scrollback_pager_history_size 0
|
||
|
||
#: Separate scrollback history size (in MB), used only for browsing
|
||
#: the scrollback buffer with pager. This separate buffer is not
|
||
#: available for interactive scrolling but will be piped to the pager
|
||
#: program when viewing scrollback buffer in a separate window. The
|
||
#: current implementation stores the data in UTF-8, so approximately
|
||
#: 10000 lines per megabyte at 100 chars per line, for pure ASCII,
|
||
#: unformatted text. A value of zero or less disables this feature.
|
||
#: The maximum allowed size is 4GB. Note that on config reload if this
|

#: is changed it will only affect newly created windows, not existing
|
||
#: ones.

#: Multiplier for the number of lines scrolled by the mouse wheel.
|
||
#: Note that this is only used for low precision scrolling devices,
|
||
#: not for high precision scrolling devices on platforms such as macOS
|
||
#: and Wayland. Use negative numbers to change scroll direction. See
|
||
#: also wheel_scroll_min_lines.
|
||
|
||
# wheel_scroll_min_lines 1
|
||
|
||
#: The minimum number of lines scrolled by the mouse wheel. The scroll
|
||
#: multiplier wheel_scroll_multiplier only takes effect after it
|
||
#: reaches this number. Note that this is only used for low precision
|
||
#: scrolling devices like wheel mice that scroll by very small amounts
|
||
#: when using the wheel. With a negative number, the minimum number of
|
||
#: lines will always be added.
|
||
|
||
# touch_scroll_multiplier 1.0
|
||
|
||
#: Multiplier for the number of lines scrolled by a touchpad. Note
|

|
||
# url_prefixes file ftp ftps gemini git gopher http https irc ircs kitty mailto news sftp ssh
|

|
||
#: The set of URL prefixes to look for when detecting a URL under the
|
||
#: mouse cursor.
|
||
|
||
# detect_urls yes
|
||
|
||
#: Detect URLs under the mouse. Detected URLs are highlighted with an
|
||
#: underline and the mouse cursor becomes a hand over them. Even if
|
||
#: this option is disabled, URLs are still clickable. See also the
|
||
#: underline_hyperlinks option to control how hyperlinks (as opposed
|
||
#: to plain text URLs) are displayed.
|
||
|
||
# url_excluded_characters
|
||
|
||
#: Additional characters to be disallowed from URLs, when detecting
|
||
#: URLs under the mouse cursor. By default, all characters that are
|
||
#: legal in URLs are allowed. Additionally, newlines are allowed (but
|
||
#: stripped). This is to accommodate programs such as mutt that add
|
||
#: hard line breaks even for continued lines. \n can be added to this
|
||
#: option to disable this behavior. Special characters can be
|
||
#: specified using backslash escapes, to specify a backslash use a
|
||
#: double backslash.
|
||
|
||
# show_hyperlink_targets no
|
||
|
||
#: When the mouse hovers over a terminal hyperlink, show the actual
|
||
#: URL that will be activated when the hyperlink is clicked.
|
||
|
||
# underline_hyperlinks hover
|
||
|
||
#: Control how hyperlinks are underlined. They can either be
|
||
#: underlined on mouse hover, always (i.e. permanently underlined) or
|
||
#: never which means that kitty will not apply any underline styling
|
||
#: to hyperlinks. Uses the url_style and url_color settings for the
|
||
#: underline style. Note that reloading the config and changing this
|
||
#: value to/from always will only affect text subsequently received by
|
||
#: kitty.
|
||
|
||
# copy_on_select no
|
||
|
||
#: Copy to clipboard or a private buffer on select. With this set to
|
||
#: clipboard, selecting text with the mouse will cause the text to be
|
||
#: copied to clipboard. Useful on platforms such as macOS that do not
|
||
#: have the concept of primary selection. You can instead specify a
|
||
#: name such as a1 to copy to a private kitty buffer. Map a shortcut
|
||
#: with the paste_from_buffer action to paste from this private
|
||
#: buffer. For example::
|
||
|
||
#: copy_on_select a1
|
||
#: map shift+cmd+v paste_from_buffer a1
|
||
|
||
#: Note that copying to the clipboard is a security risk, as all
|
||
#: programs, including websites open in your browser can read the
|
||
#: contents of the system clipboard.
|

|
||
# paste_actions quote-urls-at-prompt,confirm

|
||
#: buttons on a mouse.
|
||
|

#: event-type is one of press, release, doublepress, triplepress,
|
||
#: click, doubleclick. modes indicates whether the action is performed
|
||
#: when the mouse is grabbed by the program running in the terminal,

|
||
#: from double and triple presses.

|
||
# window_logo_scale 0
|
||
|
||
#: The percentage (0-100] of the window size to which the logo should

|
||
#: percentage of the shortest window dimension, while preseving aspect
|
||
#: ratio of the logo image.
|
||
|
||
#: Using two numbers means the width and height of the logo are scaled
|
||
#: to the respective percentage of the window's width and height.
|
||
|
||
#: Using zero as the percentage disables scaling in that dimension. A

|
||
#: OS window, when no new resize events have been received, i.e. when
|
||
#: resizing is either paused or finished. On platforms such as macOS,
|
||
#: where the operating system sends events corresponding to the start
|
||
#: and end of a live resize, the second number is used for redraw-
|
||
#: after-pause since kitty can distinguish between a pause and end of
|
||
#: resizing. On such systems the first number is ignored and redraw is
|
||
#: immediate after end of resize. On other systems only the first
|
||
#: number is used so that kitty is "ready" quickly after the end of
|
||
#: resizing, while not also continuously redrawing, to save energy.
|
||
|
||
# resize_in_steps no
|
||
|
||
#: Resize the OS window in steps as large as the cells, instead of
|
||
#: with the usual pixel accuracy. Combined with initial_window_width
|
||
#: and initial_window_height in number of cells, this option can be
|

#: least this number of kitty windows in it by window manager (e.g.
|
||
#: clicking the window close button or pressing the operating system
|
||

#: requests to quit the entire application (all OS windows, via the
|
||
#: quit action). Negative values are converted to positive ones,
|
||
#: however, with shell_integration enabled, using negative values
|

|
||
#: fade
|
||
#: Each tab's edges fade into the background color. (See also tab_fade)
|
||
#: slant
|
||
#: Tabs look like the tabs in a physical file.

|
||
#: Tabs are separated by a configurable separator. (See also
|
||
#: tab_separator)
|
||
#: powerline
|
||
#: Tabs are shown as a continuous line with "fancy" separators.
|
||
#: (See also tab_powerline_style)
|
||
#: custom
|
||
#: A user-supplied Python function called draw_tab is loaded from the file
|
||
#: tab_bar.py in the kitty config directory. For examples of how to
|
||
#: write such a function, see the functions named draw_tab_with_* in

#: hidden
|
||
#: The tab bar is hidden. If you use this, you might want to create
|
||
#: a mapping for the select_tab action which presents you with a list of
|
||
#: tabs and allows for easy switching to a tab.
|
||
|
||
# tab_bar_align left
|
||
|
||
#: The horizontal alignment of the tab bar, can be one of: left,
|
||
#: center, right.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
#: The minimum number of tabs that must exist before the tab bar is
|
||
#: shown.
|
||
|
||
# tab_switch_strategy previous
|
||
|
||
#: The algorithm to use when switching to a tab when the current tab
|
||
#: is closed. The default of previous will switch to the last used
|
||
#: tab. A value of left will switch to the tab to the left of the
|
||
#: closed tab. A value of right will switch to the tab to the right of
|
||
#: the closed tab. A value of last will switch to the right-most tab.
|
||
|
||
# tab_fade 0.25 0.5 0.75 1
|
||
|
||
#: Control how each tab fades into the background when using fade for
|
||
#: the tab_bar_style. Each number is an alpha (between zero and one)
|
||
#: that controls how much the corresponding cell fades into the
|
||
#: background, with zero being no fade and one being full fade. You
|
||
#: can change the number of cells used by adding/removing entries to
|
||
#: this list.
|
||
|
||
# tab_separator " ┇"
|
||
|
||
#: The separator between tabs in the tab bar when using separator as
|
||
#: the tab_bar_style.
|
||
|
||
# tab_powerline_style angled
|
||
|
||
#: The powerline separator style between tabs in the tab bar when
|
||
#: using powerline as the tab_bar_style, can be one of: angled,
|
||
#: slanted, round.
|
||
|
||
# tab_activity_symbol none
|
||
|
||
#: Some text or a Unicode symbol to show on the tab if a window in the
|
||
#: tab that does not have focus has some activity. If you want to use
|
||
#: leading or trailing spaces, surround the text with quotes. See
|
||
#: tab_title_template for how this is rendered.
|
||
|
||
# tab_title_max_length 0
|
||
|
||
#: The maximum number of cells that can be used to render the text in
|
||
#: a tab. A value of zero means that no limit is applied.
|
||
|
||
# tab_title_template "{fmt.fg.red}{bell_symbol}{activity_symbol}{fmt.fg.tab}{title}"
|
||
|
||
#: A template to render the tab title. The default just renders the
|
||
#: title with optional symbols for bell and activity. If you wish to
|
||
#: include the tab-index as well, use something like: {index}:{title}.
|
||
#: Useful if you have shortcuts mapped for goto_tab N. If you prefer
|
||
#: to see the index as a superscript, use {sup.index}. All data
|
||
#: available is:
|
||
|
||
#: title
|
||
#: The current tab title.
|
||
#: index
|
||
#: The tab index usable with goto_tab N goto_tab shortcuts.
|
||
#: layout_name
|
||
#: The current layout name.
|
||
#: num_windows
|
||
#: The number of windows in the tab.
|
||
#: num_window_groups
|
||
#: The number of window groups (a window group is a window and all of its overlay windows) in the tab.
|
||
#: tab.active_wd
|
||
#: The working directory of the currently active window in the tab
|
||
#: (expensive, requires syscall). Use active_oldest_wd to get
|
||
#: the directory of the oldest foreground process rather than the newest.
|
||
#: tab.active_exe
|
||
#: The name of the executable running in the foreground of the currently
|
||
#: active window in the tab (expensive, requires syscall). Use
|
||
#: active_oldest_exe for the oldest foreground process.
|
||
#: max_title_length
|
||
#: The maximum title length available.
|
||
#: keyboard_mode
|
||
#: The name of the current keyboard mode <https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/mapping/#modal-mappings> or the empty string if no keyboard mode is active.
|
||
|
||
#: Note that formatting is done by Python's string formatting
|
||
#: machinery, so you can use, for instance, {layout_name[:2].upper()}
|
||
#: to show only the first two letters of the layout name, upper-cased.
|
||
#: If you want to style the text, you can use styling directives, for
|
||
#: example:
|
||
#: `{fmt.fg.red}red{fmt.fg.tab}normal{fmt.bg._00FF00}greenbg{fmt.bg.tab}`.
|
||
#: Similarly, for bold and italic:
|
||
#: `{fmt.bold}bold{fmt.nobold}normal{fmt.italic}italic{fmt.noitalic}`.
|
||
#: Note that for backward compatibility, if {bell_symbol} or
|
||
#: {activity_symbol} are not present in the template, they are
|
||
#: prepended to it.

|
||
#: supported by the OS (for instance, when using a compositor under
|

||
#: background, so that things like the status bar in vim, powerline
|
||
#: prompts, etc. still look good. But it means that if you use a color

|
||
#: The default value of . means to use the environment variables
|

#: the PATH specified by the env option is tried.
|
||
|
||
#: This option allows you to prepend, append, or remove paths from
|
||
#: this search order. It can be specified multiple times for multiple

#: paths. A simple path will be prepended to the search order. A path
|
||
#: that starts with the + sign will be append to the search order,

# clipboard_control write-clipboard write-primary read-clipboard-ask read-primary-ask
|
||
|
||
#: Allow programs running in kitty to read and write from the
|
||
#: clipboard. You can control exactly which actions are allowed. The
|
||
#: possible actions are: write-clipboard, read-clipboard, write-
|
||
#: primary, read-primary, read-clipboard-ask, read-primary-ask. The
|
||
#: default is to allow writing to the clipboard and primary selection
|
||
#: and to ask for permission when a program tries to read from the
|
||
#: clipboard. Note that disabling the read confirmation is a security
|
||
#: risk as it means that any program, even the ones running on a
|
||
#: remote server via SSH can read your clipboard. See also
|
||
#: clipboard_max_size.
|

|
||
# clipboard_max_size 512
|
||
|

|
||
#: zero means no size limit is applied. See also clipboard_control.
|

# file_transfer_confirmation_bypass
|
||
|
||
#: The password that can be supplied to the file transfer kitten
|
||
#: <https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/transfer/> to skip the
|
||
#: transfer confirmation prompt. This should only be used when
|
||
#: initiating transfers from trusted computers, over trusted networks
|
||
#: or encrypted transports, as it allows any programs running on the
|
||
#: remote machine to read/write to the local filesystem, without
|
||
#: permission.
|
||
|
||
# allow_hyperlinks yes
|
||
|
||
#: Process hyperlink escape sequences (OSC 8). If disabled OSC 8
|
||
#: escape sequences are ignored. Otherwise they become clickable
|
||
#: links, that you can click with the mouse or by using the hints
|
||
#: kitten <https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/hints/>. The
|
||
#: special value of ask means that kitty will ask before opening the
|
||
#: link when clicked.
|
||
|
||
# shell_integration enabled
|
||
|
||
#: Enable shell integration on supported shells. This enables features
|
||
#: such as jumping to previous prompts, browsing the output of the
|
||
#: previous command in a pager, etc. on supported shells. Set to
|
||
#: disabled to turn off shell integration, completely. It is also

# allow_cloning ask
|

#: Control whether programs running in the terminal can request new
|
||
#: windows to be created. The canonical example is clone-in-kitty
|
||
#: <https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/shell-integration/#clone-shell>.
|
||
#: By default, kitty will ask for permission for each clone request.
|
||
#: Allowing cloning unconditionally gives programs running in the
|
||
#: terminal (including over SSH) permission to execute arbitrary code,
|
||
#: as the user who is running the terminal, on the computer that the
|
||
#: terminal is running on.
|

||
# clone_source_strategies venv,conda,env_var,path
|
||
|

#: Control what shell code is sourced when running clone-in-kitty in
|
||
#: the newly cloned window. The supported strategies are:
|
||
|
||
#: venv
|
||
#: Source the file $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate. This is used by the
|
||
#: Python stdlib venv module and allows cloning venvs automatically.
|
||
#: conda
|
||
#: Run conda activate $CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV. This supports the virtual
|
||
#: environments created by conda.
|
||
#: env_var
|
||
#: Execute the contents of the environment variable
|
||
#: KITTY_CLONE_SOURCE_CODE with eval.
|
||
#: path
|
||
#: Source the file pointed to by the environment variable
|
||
#: KITTY_CLONE_SOURCE_PATH.
|
||
|
||
#: This option must be a comma separated list of the above values.
|
||
#: Only the first valid match, in the order specified, is sourced.
|
||
|
||
# notify_on_cmd_finish never
|
||
|
||
#: Show a desktop notification when a long-running command finishes
|
||
#: (needs shell_integration). The possible values are:
|
||
|
||
#: never
|
||
#: Never send a notification.
|
||
|
||
#: unfocused
|
||
#: Only send a notification when the window does not have keyboard focus.
|
||
|
||
#: invisible
|
||
#: Only send a notification when the window both is unfocused and not visible
|
||
#: to the user, for example, because it is in an inactive tab or its OS window
|
||
#: is not currently active.
|
||
|
||
#: always
|
||
#: Always send a notification, regardless of window state.
|
||
|
||
#: There are two optional arguments:
|
||
|
||
#: First, the minimum duration for what is considered a long running
|
||
#: command. The default is 5 seconds. Specify a second argument to set
|
||
#: the duration. For example: invisible 15. Do not set the value too
|
||
#: small, otherwise a command that launches a new OS Window and exits
|
||
#: will spam a notification.
|
||
|
||
#: Second, the action to perform. The default is notify. The possible
|
||
#: values are:
|
||
|
||
#: notify
|
||
#: Send a desktop notification.
|
||
|
||
#: bell
|
||
#: Ring the terminal bell.
|
||
|
||
#: command
|
||
#: Run a custom command. All subsequent arguments are the cmdline to run.
|
||
|
||
#: Some more examples::
|
||
|
||
#: # Send a notification when a command takes more than 5 seconds in an unfocused window
|
||
#: notify_on_cmd_finish unfocused
|
||
#: # Send a notification when a command takes more than 10 seconds in a invisible window
|
||
#: notify_on_cmd_finish invisible 10.0
|
||
#: # Ring a bell when a command takes more than 10 seconds in a invisible window
|
||
#: notify_on_cmd_finish invisible 10.0 bell
|
||
#: # Run 'notify-send' when a command takes more than 10 seconds in a invisible window
|
||
#: # Here %c is replaced by the current command line and %s by the job exit code
|
||
#: notify_on_cmd_finish invisible 10.0 command notify-send "job finished with status: %s" %c
|

|
||
# term xterm-kitty
|
||
|
||
#: The value of the TERM environment variable to set. Changing this
|
||
#: can break many terminal programs, only change it if you know what
|
||
#: you are doing, not because you read some advice on "Stack Overflow"
|
||
#: to change it. The TERM variable is used by various programs to get
|
||
#: information about the capabilities and behavior of the terminal. If
|
||
#: you change it, depending on what programs you run, and how
|
||
#: different the terminal you are changing it to is, various things
|
||
#: from key-presses, to colors, to various advanced features may not
|
||
#: work. Changing this option by reloading the config will only affect
|
||
#: newly created windows.
|
||
|
||
# terminfo_type path
|
||
|
||
#: The value of the TERMINFO environment variable to set. This
|
||
#: variable is used by programs running in the terminal to search for
|
||
#: terminfo databases. The default value of path causes kitty to set
|
||
#: it to a filesystem location containing the kitty terminfo database.
|
||
#: A value of direct means put the entire database into the env var
|
||
#: directly. This can be useful when connecting to containers, for
|
||
#: example. But, note that not all software supports this. A value of
|
||
#: none means do not touch the variable.
|
||
|
||
# forward_stdio no
|
||
|
||
#: Forward STDOUT and STDERR of the kitty process to child processes
|
||
#: as file descriptors 3 and 4. This is useful for debugging as it
|
||
#: allows child processes to print to kitty's STDOUT directly. For
|
||
#: example, echo hello world >&3 in a shell will print to the parent
|
||
#: kitty's STDOUT. When enabled, this also sets the
|
||
#: KITTY_STDIO_FORWARDED=3 environment variable so child processes
|
||
#: know about the forwarding.
|
||
|
||
# menu_map
|
||
|
||
#: Specify entries for various menus in kitty. Currently only the
|
||
#: global menubar on macOS is supported. For example::
|
||
|
||
#: menu_map global "Actions::Launch something special" launch --hold --type=os-window sh -c "echo hello world"
|
||
|
||
#: This will create a menu entry named "Launch something special" in
|
||
#: an "Actions" menu in the macOS global menubar. Sub-menus can be
|
||
#: created by adding more levels separated by the :: characters.

# wayland_titlebar_color system
|
||
|
||
#: The color of the kitty window's titlebar on Wayland systems with
|
||
#: client side window decorations such as GNOME. A value of system
|
||
#: means to use the default system colors, a value of background means
|
||
#: to use the background color of the currently active kitty window
|
||
#: and finally you can use an arbitrary color, such as #12af59 or red.
|
||
|
||
# macos_titlebar_color system
|
||
|
||
#: The color of the kitty window's titlebar on macOS. A value of
|
||
#: system means to use the default system color, light or dark can
|
||
#: also be used to set it explicitly. A value of background means to
|
||
#: use the background color of the currently active window and finally
|
||
#: you can use an arbitrary color, such as #12af59 or red. WARNING:
|
||
#: This option works by using a hack when arbitrary color (or
|
||
#: background) is configured, as there is no proper Cocoa API for it.
|
||
#: It sets the background color of the entire window and makes the
|
||
#: titlebar transparent. As such it is incompatible with
|
||
#: background_opacity. If you want to use both, you are probably
|
||
#: better off just hiding the titlebar with hide_window_decorations.
|
||
|
||
# macos_option_as_alt no
|
||
|
||
#: Use the Option key as an Alt key on macOS. With this set to no,
|
||
#: kitty will use the macOS native Option+Key to enter Unicode
|
||
#: character behavior. This will break any Alt+Key keyboard shortcuts
|
||
#: in your terminal programs, but you can use the macOS Unicode input
|
||
#: technique. You can use the values: left, right or both to use only
|
||
#: the left, right or both Option keys as Alt, instead. Note that
|
||
#: kitty itself always treats Option the same as Alt. This means you
|
||
#: cannot use this option to configure different kitty shortcuts for
|
||
#: Option+Key vs. Alt+Key. Also, any kitty shortcuts using
|
||
#: Option/Alt+Key will take priority, so that any such key presses
|
||
#: will not be passed to terminal programs running inside kitty.
|
||
#: Changing this option by reloading the config is not supported.
|
||
|
||
# macos_hide_from_tasks no

#: Dock). Changing this option by reloading the config is not
|
||
#: supported.
|
||
|
||
# macos_quit_when_last_window_closed no
|
||
|
||
#: Have kitty quit when all the top-level windows are closed on macOS.
|
||
#: By default, kitty will stay running, even with no open windows, as
|
||
#: is the expected behavior on macOS.
|
||
|
||
# macos_window_resizable yes
|

|
||
# macos_thicken_font 0
|
||
|
||
#: Draw an extra border around the font with the given width, to
|
||
#: increase legibility at small font sizes on macOS. For example, a
|
||
#: value of 0.75 will result in rendering that looks similar to sub-
|
||
#: pixel antialiasing at common font sizes. Note that in modern kitty,
|
||
#: this option is obsolete (although still supported). Consider using
|
||
#: text_composition_strategy instead.
|

# macos_traditional_fullscreen no
|

#: but less pretty.
|
||
|
||
# macos_show_window_title_in all
|
||
|
||
#: Control where the window title is displayed on macOS. A value of
|
||
#: window will show the title of the currently active window at the
|
||
#: top of the macOS window. A value of menubar will show the title of
|
||
#: the currently active window in the macOS global menu bar, making
|
||
#: use of otherwise wasted space. A value of all will show the title
|
||
#: in both places, and none hides the title. See

#: macos_menubar_title_max_length for how to control the length of the
|
||
#: title in the menu bar.

|
||
# macos_menubar_title_max_length 0
|
||
|
||
#: The maximum number of characters from the window title to show in

#: the macOS global menu bar. Values less than one means that there is
|
||
#: no maximum limit.
|
||
|
||
# macos_custom_beam_cursor no
|
||
|
||
#: Use a custom mouse cursor for macOS that is easier to see on both
|
||
#: light and dark backgrounds. Nowadays, the default macOS cursor
|
||
#: already comes with a white border. WARNING: this might make your
|
||
#: mouse cursor invisible on dual GPU machines. Changing this option

# macos_colorspace srgb
|

||
#: of srgb will cause colors to match those seen in web browsers. The
|
||
#: value of default will use whatever the native colorspace of the

|
||
|
||
#: map f1 launch_tab vim
|

# kitten_alias
|

|
||
#: E.g. kitten_alias hints hints --hints-offset=0
|
||
|
||
#: Like action_alias above, but specifically for kittens. Generally,
|
||
#: prefer to use action_alias. This option is a legacy version,
|
||
#: present for backwards compatibility. It causes all invocations of

|
||
|
||
#:: If you want to operate on all kitty windows instead of just the
|
||
#:: current one, use all instead of active.
|
||
|
||
#:: Some useful functions that can be defined in the shell rc files
|
||
#:: to perform various kinds of clearing of the current window:
|
||
|
||
#:: .. code-block:: sh
|
||
|
||
#:: clear-only-screen() {
|
||
#:: printf "\e[H\e[2J"

#:: }
|

||
#:: clear-screen-and-scrollback() {

||
#:: printf "\e[H\e[3J"

|
||
|
||
#:: clear-screen-saving-contents-in-scrollback() {
|
||
#:: printf "\e[H\e[22J"
|
||
#:: }
|
||
|
||
#:: For instance, using these escape codes, it is possible to remap
|
||
#:: Ctrl+L to both scroll the current screen contents into the
|
||
#:: scrollback buffer and clear the screen, instead of just clearing
|
||
#:: the screen. For ZSH, in ~/.zshrc, add:
|
||
|
||
#:: .. code-block:: zsh
|
||
|
||
#:: ctrl_l() {
|
||
#:: builtin print -rn -- $'\r\e[0J\e[H\e[22J' >"$TTY"

#:: builtin zle -R
|
||
#:: }
|
||
#:: zle -N ctrl_l
|
||
#:: bindkey '^l' ctrl_l
|
||
|
||
#:: Alternatively, you can just add map ctrl+l clear_terminal
|
||
#:: to_cursor_scroll active to kitty.conf which works with no changes
|
||
#:: to the shell rc files, but only clears up to the prompt, it does
|
||
#:: not clear anytext at the prompt itself.
|
||
|
||
#: Clear up to cursor line
|
||
|
||
# map cmd+k clear_terminal to_cursor active
|
||
|
||
#: Reload kitty.conf
|
||
|
||
# map kitty_mod+f5 load_config_file
|
||
# map ctrl+cmd+, load_config_file
|
||
|
||
#:: Reload kitty.conf, applying any changes since the last time it
|
||
#:: was loaded. Note that a handful of options cannot be dynamically
|
||
#:: changed and require a full restart of kitty. Particularly, when
|
||
#:: changing shortcuts for actions located on the macOS global menu
|
||
#:: bar, a full restart is needed. You can also map a keybinding to
|
||
#:: load a different config file, for example::
|
||
|
||
#:: map f5 load_config /path/to/alternative/kitty.conf
|
||
|
||
#:: Note that all options from the original kitty.conf are discarded,
|

#:: in other words the new configuration *replace* the old ones.

||
#: Debug kitty configuration
|
||
|
||
# map kitty_mod+f6 debug_config
|
||
# map opt+cmd+, debug_config
|
||
|
||
#:: Show details about exactly what configuration kitty is running
|
||
#:: with and its host environment. Useful for debugging issues.
|
||
|
||
#: Send arbitrary text on key presses
|
||
|
||
#:: E.g. map ctrl+shift+alt+h send_text all Hello World
|
||
|
||
#:: You can tell kitty to send arbitrary (UTF-8) encoded text to the
|
||
#:: client program when pressing specified shortcut keys. For
|
||
#:: example::
|
||
|
||
#:: map ctrl+alt+a send_text all Special text
|
||
|
||
#:: This will send "Special text" when you press the Ctrl+Alt+A key
|
||
#:: combination. The text to be sent decodes ANSI C escapes
|
||
#:: <https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/ANSI_002dC-
|
||
#:: Quoting.html> so you can use escapes like \e to send control
|
||
#:: codes or \u21fb to send Unicode characters (or you can just input
|
||
#:: the Unicode characters directly as UTF-8 text). You can use
|
||
#:: `kitten show_key` to get the key escape codes you want to
|
||
#:: emulate.
|
||
|
||
#:: The first argument to send_text is the keyboard modes in which to
|
||
#:: activate the shortcut. The possible values are normal,
|
||
#:: application, kitty or a comma separated combination of them. The
|
||
#:: modes normal and application refer to the DECCKM cursor key mode
|
||
#:: for terminals, and kitty refers to the kitty extended keyboard
|
||
#:: protocol. The special value all means all of them.
|
||
|
||
#:: Some more examples::
|
||
|
||
#:: # Output a word and move the cursor to the start of the line (like typing and pressing Home)
|
||
#:: map ctrl+alt+a send_text normal Word\e[H
|
||
#:: map ctrl+alt+a send_text application Word\eOH
