#: Fonts {{{
|
||
|
||
#: kitty has very powerful font management. You can configure
|
||
#: individual font faces and even specify special fonts for particular
|
||
#: characters.
|
||
|
||
font_family Fira Code
|
||
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_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 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.
|
||
|
||
adjust_line_height 0
|
||
adjust_column_width 0
|
||
|
||
#: Change the size of each character cell kitty renders. You can use
|
||
#: either numbers, which are interpreted as pixels or percentages
|
||
#: (number followed by %), which are interpreted as percentages of the
|
||
#: unmodified values. You can use negative pixels or percentages less
|
||
#: than 100% to reduce sizes (but this might cause rendering
|
||
#: artifacts).
|
||
|
||
adjust_baseline 0
|
||
|
||
#: Adjust the vertical alignment of text (the height in the cell at
|
||
#: which text is positioned). You can use either numbers, which are
|
||
#: interpreted as pixels or a percentages (number followed by %),
|
||
#: which are interpreted as the percentage of the line height. A
|
||
#: positive value moves the baseline up, and a negative value moves
|
||
#: them down. The underline and strikethrough positions are adjusted
|
||
#: accordingly.
|
||
|
||
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. symbol_map itself can be specified multiple
|
||
#: times. 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
|
||
#: setting you can force kitty to restrict the specified code points
|
||
#: to render in the specified number of cells (defaulting to one
|
||
#: cell). 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 setting.
|
||
|
||
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 Retina 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
|
||
#: Retina 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, these are read from the FontConfig database first and
|
||
#: then this, setting 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::
|
||
|
||
#: font_features FiraCode-Retina +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
|
||
|
||
box_drawing_scale 0.001, 1, 1.5, 2
|
||
|
||
#: Change 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.
|
||
|
||
#: }}}
|
||
|
||
#: Cursor customization {{{
|
||
|
||
cursor #cccccc
|
||
|
||
#: Default cursor color. If set to the special value none the cursor
|
||
#: will be rendered with a "reverse video" effect. It's 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.
|
||
|
||
cursor_text_color #111111
|
||
|
||
#: Choose 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 setting is ignored.
|
||
|
||
cursor_shape block
|
||
|
||
#: The cursor shape can be one of (block, beam, underline). Note that
|
||
#: 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,
|
||
#: 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_beam_thickness 1.5
|
||
|
||
#: Defines the thickness of the beam cursor (in pts)
|
||
|
||
cursor_underline_thickness 2.0
|
||
|
||
#: Defines the thickness of the underline cursor (in pts)
|
||
|
||
cursor_blink_interval -1
|
||
|
||
#: The interval (in seconds) at which to blink the cursor. Set to zero
|
||
#: to disable blinking. Negative values mean use system default. Note
|
||
#: that numbers smaller than repaint_delay will be limited to
|
||
#: repaint_delay.
|
||
|
||
cursor_stop_blinking_after 15.0
|
||
|
||
#: Stop blinking cursor after the specified number of seconds of
|
||
#: keyboard inactivity. Set to zero to never stop blinking.
|
||
|
||
#: }}}
|
||
|
||
#: Scrollback {{{
|
||
|
||
scrollback_lines 2000
|
||
|
||
#: 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_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, used only for browsing the
|
||
#: scrollback buffer (in MB). 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 approximatively 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.
|
||
|
||
scrollback_fill_enlarged_window no
|
||
|
||
#: Fill new space with lines from the scrollback buffer after
|
||
#: enlarging a window.
|
||
|
||
wheel_scroll_multiplier 5.0
|
||
|
||
#: Modify the amount scrolled by the mouse wheel. Note this is only
|
||
#: used for low precision scrolling devices, not for high precision
|
||
#: scrolling 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
|
||
|
||
#: Modify the amount scrolled by a touchpad. Note this is only used
|
||
#: for high precision scrolling devices on platforms such as macOS and
|
||
#: Wayland. Use negative numbers to change scroll direction.
|
||
|
||
#: }}}
|
||
|
||
#: Mouse {{{
|
||
|
||
mouse_hide_wait 3.0
|
||
|
||
#: Hide mouse cursor after the specified number of seconds of the
|
||
#: mouse not being used. Set to zero to disable mouse cursor hiding.
|
||
#: Set to a negative value to hide the mouse cursor immediately when
|
||
#: typing text. Disabled by default on macOS as getting it to work
|
||
#: robustly with the ever-changing sea of bugs that is Cocoa is too
|
||
#: much effort.
|
||
|
||
url_color #0087bd
|
||
url_style curly
|
||
|
||
#: The color and style for highlighting URLs on mouse-over. url_style
|
||
#: can be one of: none, straight, double, curly, dotted, dashed
|
||
|
||
open_url_with default
|
||
|
||
#: The program with which to open URLs that are clicked on. The
|
||
#: special value default means to use the operating system's default
|
||
#: URL handler (open on macOS and xdg-open on Linux).
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
url_excluded_characters
|
||
|
||
#: Additional characters to be disallowed from URLs, when detecting
|
||
#: URLs under the mouse cursor. By default, all characters legal in
|
||
#: URLs are allowed.
|
||
|
||
copy_on_select yes
|
||
|
||
#: Copy to clipboard or a private buffer on select. With this set to
|
||
#: clipboard, simply 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 selections. You can instead
|
||
#: specify a name such as a1 to copy to a private kitty buffer
|
||
#: instead. Map a shortcut with the paste_from_buffer action to paste
|
||
#: from this private buffer. For example::
|
||
|
||
#: 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.
|
||
|
||
strip_trailing_spaces smart
|
||
|
||
#: Remove spaces at the end of lines when copying to clipboard. A
|
||
#: value of smart will do it when using normal selections, but not
|
||
#: rectangle selections. always will always do it.
|
||
|
||
select_by_word_characters @-./_~?&=%+#
|
||
|
||
#: Characters considered part of a word when double clicking. In
|
||
#: addition to these characters any character that is marked as an
|
||
#: alphanumeric character in the unicode database will be matched.
|
||
|
||
click_interval -1.0
|
||
|
||
#: The interval between successive clicks to detect double/triple
|
||
#: clicks (in seconds). Negative numbers will use the system default
|
||
#: instead, if available, or fallback to 0.5.
|
||
|
||
focus_follows_mouse no
|
||
|
||
#: Set the active window to the window under the mouse when moving the
|
||
#: mouse around
|
||
|
||
pointer_shape_when_grabbed arrow
|
||
|
||
#: The shape of the mouse pointer when the program running in the
|
||
#: terminal grabs the mouse. Valid values are: arrow, beam and hand
|
||
|
||
default_pointer_shape beam
|
||
|
||
#: The default shape of the mouse pointer. Valid values are: arrow,
|
||
#: beam and hand
|
||
|
||
pointer_shape_when_dragging beam
|
||
|
||
#: The default shape of the mouse pointer when dragging across text.
|
||
#: Valid values are: arrow, beam and hand
|
||
|
||
#: Mouse actions {{{
|
||
|
||
#: Mouse buttons can be remapped to perform arbitrary actions. The
|
||
#: syntax for doing so is:
|
||
|
||
#: .. code-block:: none
|
||
|
||
#: mouse_map button-name event-type modes action
|
||
|
||
#: Where ``button-name`` is one of ``left``, ``middle``, ``right`` or
|
||
#: ``b1 ... b8`` with added keyboard modifiers, for example:
|
||
#: ``ctrl+shift+left`` refers to holding the ctrl+shift keys while
|
||
#: clicking with the left mouse button. The number ``b1 ... b8`` can
|
||
#: be used to refer to upto eight buttons on a mouse.
|
||
|
||
#: ``event-type`` is one ``press``, ``release``, ``doublepress``,
|
||
#: ``triplepress``, ``click`` and ``doubleclick``. ``modes``
|
||
#: indicates whether the action is performed when the mouse is grabbed
|
||
#: by the program running in the terminal, or not. It can have one or
|
||
#: more or the values, ``grabbed,ungrabbed``. ``grabbed`` refers to
|
||
#: when the program running in the terminal has requested mouse
|
||
#: events. Note that the click and double click events have a delay of
|
||
#: click_interval to disambiguate from double and triple presses.
|
||
|
||
#: You can run kitty with the kitty --debug-input command line option
|
||
#: to see mouse events. See the builtin actions below to get a sense
|
||
#: of what is possible.
|
||
|
||
#: If you want to unmap an action map it to ``no-op``. For example, to
|
||
#: disable opening of URLs with a plain click::
|
||
|
||
#: mouse_map left click ungrabbed no-op
|
||
|

shell .
|
||
|
||
#: The shell program to execute. The default value of . means to use
|
||
#: whatever shell is set as the default shell for the current user.
|
||
#: Note that on macOS if you change this, you might need to add
|
||
#: --login and --interactive to ensure that the shell starts in
|
||
#: interactive mode and reads its startup rc files.
|
||
|
||
editor .
|
||
|
||
#: The terminal editor (such as ``vim`` or ``nano``) to use when
|
||
#: editing the kitty config file or similar tasks.
|
||
|
||
#: The default value of . means to use the environment variables
|
||
#: VISUAL and EDITOR in that order. If these variables aren't set,
|
||
#: kitty will run your shell (``$SHELL -l -i -c env``) to see if your
|
||
#: shell config files set VISUAL or EDITOR. If that doesn't work,
|
||
#: kitty will cycle through various known editors (``vim``, ``emacs``,
|
||
#: etc) and take the first one that exists on your system.
|
||
|
||
close_on_child_death no
|
||
|
||
#: Close the window when the child process (shell) exits. If no (the
|
||
#: default), the terminal will remain open when the child exits as
|
||
#: long as there are still processes outputting to the terminal (for
|
||
#: example disowned or backgrounded processes). If yes, the window
|
||
#: will close as soon as the child process exits. Note that setting it
|
||
#: to yes means that any background processes still using the terminal
|
||
#: can fail silently because their stdout/stderr/stdin no longer work.
|
||
|
||
allow_remote_control no
|
||
|
||
#: Allow other programs to control kitty. If you turn this on other
|
||
#: programs can control all aspects of kitty, including sending text
|
||
#: to kitty windows, opening new windows, closing windows, reading the
|
||
#: content of windows, etc. Note that this even works over ssh
|
||
#: connections. You can chose to either allow any program running
|
||
#: within kitty to control it, with yes or only programs that connect
|
||
#: to the socket specified with the kitty --listen-on command line
|
||
#: option, if you use the value socket-only. The latter is useful if
|
||
#: you want to prevent programs running on a remote computer over ssh
|
||
#: from controlling kitty. Reloading the config will not affect this
|
||
#: setting.
|
||
|
||
listen_on none
|
||
|
||
#: Tell kitty to listen to the specified unix/tcp socket for remote
|
||
#: control connections. Note that this will apply to all kitty
|
||
#: instances. It can be overridden by the kitty --listen-on command
|
||
#: line flag. This option accepts only UNIX sockets, such as
|
||
#: unix:${TEMP}/mykitty or (on Linux) unix:@mykitty. Environment
|
||
#: variables are expanded. If {kitty_pid} is present then it is
|
||
#: replaced by the PID of the kitty process, otherwise the PID of the
|
||
#: kitty process is appended to the value, with a hyphen. This option
|
||
#: is ignored unless you also set allow_remote_control to enable
|
||
#: remote control. See the help for kitty --listen-on for more
|
||
#: details. Changing this option by reloading the config is not
|
||
#: supported.
|
||
|
||
env
|
||
|
||
#: Specify environment variables to set in all child processes. Note
|
||
#: that environment variables are expanded recursively, so if you
|
||
#: use::
|
||
|
||
#: env MYVAR1=a
|
||
#: env MYVAR2=${MYVAR1}/${HOME}/b
|
||
|
||
#: The value of MYVAR2 will be a/<path to home directory>/b. Using
|
||
#: VAR= will set it to the empty string and using just VAR will delete
|
||
#: the variable from the child process' environment.
|
||
|
||
watcher
|
||
|
||
#: Path to python file which will be loaded for
|
||
#: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/launch/#watchers. Can be specified
|
||
#: more than once to load multiple watchers. The watchers will be
|
||
#: added to every kitty window. Relative paths are resolved relative
|
||
#: to the kitty config directory. Note that reloading the config will
|
||
#: only affect windows created after the reload.
|
||
|
||
exe_search_path
|
||
|
||
#: Control where kitty looks to find programs to run. The default
|
||
#: search order is: First search the system wide PATH, then
|
||
#: ~/.local/bin and ~/bin. If not still not found, the PATH defined in
|
||
#: the login shell after sourcing all its startup files is tried.
|
||
#: Finally, if present, the PATH in 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,
|
||
#: after ~/bin above. A path that starts with the - sign will be
|
||
#: removed from the entire search order. For example::
|
||
|
||
#: exe_search_path /some/prepended/path
|
||
#: exe_search_path +/some/appended/path
|
||
#: exe_search_path -/some/excluded/path
|
||
|
||
update_check_interval 24
|
||
|
||
#: Periodically check if an update to kitty is available. If an update
|
||
#: is found a system notification is displayed informing you of the
|
||
#: available update. The default is to check every 24 hrs, set to zero
|
||
#: to disable. Changing this option by reloading the config is not
|
||
#: supported.
|
||
|
||
startup_session none
|
||
|
||
#: Path to a session file to use for all kitty instances. Can be
|
||
#: overridden by using the kitty --session command line option for
|
||
#: individual instances. See
|
||
#: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/overview/#startup-sessions in the
|
||
#: kitty documentation for details. Note that relative paths are
|
||
#: interpreted with respect to the kitty config directory. Environment
|

#: variables in the path are expanded. Changing this option by
|
||
#: reloading the config is not supported.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
#: set of possible actions is: 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 one running on a remote
|
||
#: server via SSH can read your clipboard. See also
|
||
#: clipboard_max_size.
|
||
|
||
clipboard_max_size 64
|
||
|
||
#: The maximum size (in MB) of data from programs running in kitty
|
||
#: that will be stored for writing to the system clipboard. See also
|
||
#: clipboard_control. A value of zero means no size limit is applied.
|
||
|
||
file_transfer_confirmation_bypass
|
||
|
||
#: A password, that can be supplied to the file transfer kitten 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 programs running on
|
||
#: the remote machine to read/write to the local filesystem, without
|
||
#: permission.
|
||
|
||
allow_hyperlinks yes
|
||
|
||
#: Process hyperlink (OSC 8) escape sequences. If disabled OSC 8
|
||
#: escape sequences are ignored. Otherwise they become clickable
|
||
#: links, that you can click by with the mouse or the hints kitten
|
||
#: </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. See
|
||
#: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/shell-integration/ for details.
|
||
|
||
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.

wayland_titlebar_color system
|
||
|
||
#: Change 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 color, a value of background
|
||
#: means to use the background color of the currently active window

macos_titlebar_color system
|
||
|
||
#: Change 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, 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. With this set to no, kitty will
|
||
#: use the macOS native Option+Key = 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,

macos_quit_when_last_window_closed no
|

macos_show_window_title_in all
|
||
|

#: Show or hide the window title in the macOS window or menu-bar. 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
|

|
||
#: Keyboard shortcuts {{{
|
||
|
||
#: Keys are identified simply by their lowercase unicode characters.
|
||
#: For example: ``a`` for the A key, ``[`` for the left square bracket
|
||
#: key, etc. For functional keys, such as ``Enter or Escape`` the
|
||
#: names are present at https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-
|
||
#: protocol/#functional-key-definitions. For modifier keys, the names
|
||
#: are ctrl (control, ⌃), shift (⇧), alt (opt, option, ⌥), super (cmd,
|
||
#: command, ⌘). See also: GLFW mods
|
||
#: <https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/group__mods.html>
|
||
|
||
#: On Linux you can also use XKB key names to bind keys that are not
|
||
#: supported by GLFW. See XKB keys
|
||
#: <https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/blob/master/include/xkbcommon/xkbcommon-
|
||
#: keysyms.h> for a list of key names. The name to use is the part
|
||
#: after the XKB_KEY_ prefix. Note that you can only use an XKB key
|
||
#: name for keys that are not known as GLFW keys.
|
||
|
||
#: Finally, you can use raw system key codes to map keys, again only
|
||
#: for keys that are not known as GLFW keys. To see the system key
|
||
#: code for a key, start kitty with the kitty --debug-input option.
|
||
#: Then kitty will output some debug text for every key event. In that
|
||
#: text look for ``native_code`` the value of that becomes the key
|
||
#: name in the shortcut. For example:
|
||
|
||
#: .. code-block:: none
|
||
|
||
#: on_key_input: glfw key: 65 native_code: 0x61 action: PRESS mods: 0x0 text: 'a'
|
||
|
||
#: Here, the key name for the A key is 0x61 and you can use it with::
|
||
|
||
#: map ctrl+0x61 something
|
||
|
||
#: to map ctrl+a to something.
|
||
|
||
#: You can use the special action no_op to unmap a keyboard shortcut
|
||
#: that is assigned in the default configuration::
|
||
|
||
#: map kitty_mod+space no_op
|
||
|
||
#: If you would like kitty to completely ignore a key event, not even
|
||
#: sending it to the program running in the terminal, map it to
|
||
#: discard_event::
|
||
|
||
#: map kitty_mod+f1 discard_event
|
||
|
||
#: You can combine multiple actions to be triggered by a single
|
||
#: shortcut, using the syntax below::
|
||
|
||
#: map key combine <separator> action1 <separator> action2 <separator> action3 ...
|
||
|
||
#: For example::
|
||
|
||
#: map kitty_mod+e combine : new_window : next_layout
|
||
|
||
#: this will create a new window and switch to the next available
|
||
#: layout
|
||
|
||
#: You can use multi-key shortcuts using the syntax shown below::
|
||
|
||
#: map key1>key2>key3 action
|
||
|
||
#: For example::
|
||
|
||
#: map ctrl+f>2 set_font_size 20
|
||
|
||
#: The full list of actions that can be mapped to key presses is
|
||
#: available here </actions>.
|
||
|
||
kitty_mod ctrl+shift
|
||
|
||
#: The value of kitty_mod is used as the modifier for all default
|
||
#: shortcuts, you can change it in your kitty.conf to change the
|
||
#: modifiers for all the default shortcuts.
|
||
|
||
clear_all_shortcuts no
|
||
|
||
#: You can have kitty remove all shortcut definition seen up to this
|
||
#: point. Useful, for instance, to remove the default shortcuts.
|
||
|
||
action_alias
|
||
|
||
#: E.g. action_alias launch_tab launch --type=tab --cwd=current
|
||
|
||
#: Define aliases to avoid repeating the same options in multiple
|
||
#: mappings. Aliases can be defined for any action. Aliases are
|
||
#: expanded recursively. For example, the above alias allows you to
|
||
#: create mappings to launch a new tab in the current working
|
||
#: directory without duplication::
|
||
|
||
#: map f1 launch_tab vim
|
||
#: map f2 launch_tab emacs
|
||
|
||
#: Similarly, to alias kitten invocation::
|
||
|
||
#: action_alias hints kitten hints --hints-offset=0
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
#: the aliased kitten to be substituted. So the example above will
|
||
#: cause all invocations of the hints kitten to have the --hints-
|
||
#: offset=0 option applied.
