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. The easiest way to select fonts is to run the `kitten +#: choose-fonts` command which will present a nice UI for you to +#: select the fonts you want with previews and support for selecting +#: variable fonts and font features. If you want to learn to select +#: fonts manually, read the font specification syntax +#: . + +# 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 +#: 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+`. 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. Note +#: that for the main fonts, features can be specified when selecting +#: the font using the choose-fonts kitten. This setting is useful for +#: fallback fonts. + +#: 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 . + +#: 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 the `fc-scan file.ttf` +#: command on Linux or the `Font Book tool on macOS +#: `__. + +#: 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. + +#: }}} + +#: Text cursor customization {{{ + +# cursor #cccccc + +#: Default text 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 + +#: 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, 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 + +#: Defines the text cursor shape when the OS window is not focused. +#: The unfocused cursor shape can be one of block, beam, underline, +#: hollow and unchanged (leave the cursor shape as it is). + +# cursor_beam_thickness 1.5 + +#: The thickness of the beam cursor (in pts). + +# cursor_underline_thickness 2.0 + +#: The thickness of the underline cursor (in pts). + +# cursor_blink_interval -1 + +#: The interval to blink the cursor (in seconds). Set to zero to +#: disable blinking. Negative values mean use system default. Note +#: that the minimum interval will be limited to repaint_delay. You can +#: also animate the cursor blink by specifying an easing function. For +#: example, setting this to option to 0.5 ease-in-out will cause the +#: cursor blink to be animated over a second, in the first half of the +#: second it will go from opaque to transparent and then back again +#: over the next half. You can specify different easing functions for +#: the two halves, for example: -1 linear ease-out. kitty supports all +#: the CSS easing functions . Note that turning on animations +#: uses extra power as it means the screen is redrawn multiple times +#: per blink interval. See also, cursor_stop_blinking_after. + +# 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. + +# cursor_trail 0 + +#: Set this to a value larger than zero to enable a "cursor trail" +#: animation. This is an animation that shows a "trail" following the +#: movement of the text cursor. It makes it easy to follow large +#: cursor jumps and makes for a cool visual effect of the cursor +#: zooming around the screen. The actual value of this option controls +#: when the animation is trigerred. It is a number of milliseconds. +#: The trail animation only follows cursors that have stayed in their +#: position for longer than the specified number of milliseconds. This +#: prevents trails from appearing for cursors that rapidly change +#: their positions during UI updates in complex applications. See +#: cursor_trail_decay to control the animation speed and +#: cursor_trail_start_threshold to control when a cursor trail is +#: started. + +# cursor_trail_decay 0.1 0.4 + +#: Controls the decay times for the cursor trail effect when the +#: cursor_trail is enabled. This option accepts two positive float +#: values specifying the fastest and slowest decay times in seconds. +#: The first value corresponds to the fastest decay time (minimum), +#: and the second value corresponds to the slowest decay time +#: (maximum). The second value must be equal to or greater than the +#: first value. Smaller values result in a faster decay of the cursor +#: trail. Adjust these values to control how quickly the cursor trail +#: fades away. + +# cursor_trail_start_threshold 2 + +#: Set the distance threshold for starting the cursor trail. This +#: option accepts a positive integer value that represents the minimum +#: number of cells the cursor must move before the trail is started. +#: When the cursor moves less than this threshold, the trail is +#: skipped, reducing unnecessary cursor trail animation. + +#: }}} + +#: 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_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. + +# scrollback_fill_enlarged_window no + +#: Fill new space with lines from the scrollback buffer after +#: enlarging a window. + +# wheel_scroll_multiplier 5.0 + +#: 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 +#: that 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 to open clicked URLs. The special value default will +#: first look for any URL handlers defined via the open_actions +#: facility and if non +#: are found, it will 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. 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. Note that the value of always only applies to real +#: (OSC 8) hyperlinks not text that is detected to be a URL on mouse +#: hover. 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 + +#: A comma separated list of actions to take when pasting text into +#: the terminal. The supported paste actions are: + +#: quote-urls-at-prompt: +#: If the text being pasted is a URL and the cursor is at a shell prompt, +#: automatically quote the URL (needs shell_integration). +#: replace-dangerous-control-codes +#: Replace dangerous control codes from pasted text, without confirmation. +#: replace-newline +#: Replace the newline character from pasted text, without confirmation. +#: confirm: +#: Confirm the paste if the text to be pasted contains any terminal control codes +#: as this can be dangerous, leading to code execution if the shell/program running +#: in the terminal does not properly handle these. +#: confirm-if-large +#: Confirm the paste if it is very large (larger than 16KB) as pasting +#: large amounts of text into shells can be very slow. +#: filter: +#: Run the filter_paste() function from the file paste-actions.py in +#: the kitty config directory on the pasted text. The text returned by the +#: function will be actually pasted. +#: no-op: +#: Has no effect. + +# strip_trailing_spaces never + +#: 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. A value of 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. + +# select_by_word_characters_forward + +#: Characters considered part of a word when extending the selection +#: forward on double clicking. In addition to these characters any +#: character that is marked as an alphanumeric character in the +#: Unicode database will be matched. + +#: If empty (default) select_by_word_characters will be used for both +#: directions. + +# 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. On macOS, this will also cause the OS Window under +#: the mouse to be focused automatically when the mouse enters it. + +# pointer_shape_when_grabbed arrow + +#: The shape of the mouse pointer when the program running in the +#: terminal grabs the mouse. + +# default_pointer_shape beam + +#: The default shape of the mouse pointer. + +# pointer_shape_when_dragging beam + +#: The default shape of the mouse pointer when dragging across text. + +#: Mouse actions {{{ + +#: Mouse buttons can be mapped to perform arbitrary actions. The +#: syntax is: + +#: .. code-block:: none + +#: mouse_map button-name event-type modes action + +#: Where button-name is one of left, middle, right, 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 value b1 ... b8 can be used to refer to up to eight +#: 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, +#: or not. The values are grabbed or ungrabbed or a comma separated +#: combination of them. 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 a button, map it to nothing. For example, to +#: disable opening of URLs with a plain click:: + +#: mouse_map left click ungrabbed + +#: See all the mappable actions including mouse actions here +#: . + +#: .. note:: +#: Once a selection is started, releasing the button that started it will +#: automatically end it and no release event will be dispatched. + +# clear_all_mouse_actions no + +#: Remove all mouse action definitions up to this point.

Decreasing it, +#: increases frames-per-second (FPS) at the cost of more CPU usage. +#: The default value yields ~100 FPS which is more than sufficient for +#: most uses. Note that to actually achieve 100 FPS, you have to +#: either set sync_to_monitor to no or use a monitor with a high +#: refresh rate. Also, to minimize latency when there is pending input +#: to be processed, this option is ignored. + +# input_delay 3 + +#: Delay before input from the program running in the terminal is +#: processed (in milliseconds). Note that decreasing it will increase +#: responsiveness, but also increase CPU usage and might cause flicker +#: in full screen programs that redraw the entire screen on each loop, +#: because kitty is so fast that partial screen updates will be drawn. +#: This setting is ignored when the input buffer is almost full. + +# sync_to_monitor yes + +#: Sync screen updates to the refresh rate of the monitor. This +#: prevents screen tearing +#: when scrolling. +#: However, it limits the rendering speed to the refresh rate of your +#: monitor. With a very high speed mouse/high keyboard repeat rate, +#: you may notice some slight input latency. If so, set this to no. + +#: }}} + +#: Terminal bell {{{ + +# enable_audio_bell yes + +#: The audio bell. Useful to disable it in environments that require +#: silence. + +# visual_bell_duration 0.0 + +#: The visual bell duration (in seconds).

The cells value is used for horizontal +#: resizing, and the lines value is used for vertical resizing. + +# window_border_width 0.5pt + +#: The width of window borders. Can be either in pixels (px) or pts +#: (pt). Values in pts will be rounded to the nearest number of pixels +#: based on screen resolution. If not specified, the unit is assumed +#: to be pts. Note that borders are displayed only when more than one +#: window is visible. They are meant to separate multiple windows. + +# draw_minimal_borders yes + +#: Draw only the minimum borders needed. This means that only the +#: borders that separate the window from a neighbor are drawn. Note +#: that setting a non-zero window_margin_width overrides this and +#: causes all borders to be drawn. + +# window_margin_width 0 + +#: The window margin (in pts) (blank area outside the border). A +#: single value sets all four sides. Two values set the vertical and +#: horizontal sides. Three values set top, horizontal and bottom. Four +#: values set top, right, bottom and left. + +# single_window_margin_width -1 + +#: The window margin to use when only a single window is visible (in +#: pts). Negative values will cause the value of window_margin_width +#: to be used instead. A single value sets all four sides. Two values +#: set the vertical and horizontal sides. Three values set top, +#: horizontal and bottom. Four values set top, right, bottom and left. + +# window_padding_width 0 + +#: The window padding (in pts) (blank area between the text and the +#: window border). A single value sets all four sides.

On macOS, titlebar-only and titlebar-and-corners can be used +#: to only hide the titlebar and the rounded corners. Whether this +#: works and exactly what effect it has depends on the window +#: manager/operating system. Note that the effects of changing this +#: option when reloading config are undefined. When using titlebar- +#: only, it is useful to also set window_margin_width and +#: placement_strategy to prevent the rounded corners from clipping +#: text. Or use titlebar-and-corners. + +# window_logo_path none + +#: Path to a logo image. Must be in PNG/JPEG/WEBP/GIF/TIFF/BMP format. +#: Relative paths are interpreted relative to the kitty config +#: directory.

With zero +#: being fully faded and one being fully opaque. + +# window_logo_scale 0 + +#: The percentage (0-100] of the window size to which the logo should +#: scale. Using a single number means the logo is scaled to that +#: 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 +#: single zero (the default) disables all scaling of the window logo. + +# resize_debounce_time 0.1 0.5 + +#: The time to wait (in seconds) before asking the program running in +#: kitty to resize and redraw the screen during a live resize of the +#: 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 +#: used to keep the margins as small as possible when resizing the OS +#: window. Note that this does not currently work on Wayland. + +# visual_window_select_characters 1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ + +#: The list of characters for visual window selection.

A value of +#: zero disables confirmation. This confirmation also applies to +#: 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 +#: means windows sitting at a shell prompt are not counted, only +#: windows where some command is currently running. Note that if you +#: want confirmation when closing individual windows, you can map the +#: close_window_with_confirmation action. + +#: }}} + +#: Tab bar {{{ + +# tab_bar_edge bottom + +#: The edge to show the tab bar on, top or bottom. + +# tab_bar_margin_width 0.0 + +#: The margin to the left and right of the tab bar (in pts). + +# tab_bar_margin_height 0.0 0.0 + +#: The margin above and below the tab bar (in pts).

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}.

A number between zero and one, where +#: one is opaque and zero is fully transparent. This will only work if +#: supported by the OS (for instance, when using a compositor under +#: X11). Note that it only sets the background color's opacity in +#: cells that have the same background color as the default terminal +#: 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 +#: theme with a background color in your editor, it will not be +#: rendered as transparent. Instead you should change the default +#: background color in your kitty config and not use a background +#: color in the editor color scheme. Or use the escape codes to set +#: the terminals default colors in a shell script to launch your +#: editor. See also transparent_background_colors. Be aware that using +#: a value less than 1.0 is a (possibly significant) performance hit. +#: When using a low value for this setting, it is desirable that you +#: set the background color to a color the matches the general color +#: of the desktop background, for best text rendering. If you want to +#: dynamically change transparency of windows, set +#: dynamic_background_opacity to yes (this is off by default as it has +#: a performance cost). Changing this option when reloading the config +#: will only work if dynamic_background_opacity was enabled in the +#: original config. + +# background_blur 0 + +#: Set to a positive value to enable background blur (blurring of the +#: visuals behind a transparent window) on platforms that support it. +#: Only takes effect when background_opacity is less than one. On +#: macOS, this will also control the blur radius (amount of blurring). +#: Setting it to too high a value will cause severe performance issues +#: and/or rendering artifacts.

When the +#: background color of a cell matches one of these colors, it is +#: rendered semi-transparent using the specified opacity. + +#: Useful in more complex UIs like editors where you could want more +#: than a single background color to be rendered as transparent, for +#: instance, for a cursor highlight line background or a highlighted +#: block. Terminal applications can set this color using The kitty +#: color control escape code. + +#: The syntax for specifiying colors is: color@opacity, where the +#: @opacity part is optional. When unspecified, the value of +#: background_opacity is used. For example:: + +#: transparent_background_colors red@0.5 #00ff00@0.3 + +# dynamic_background_opacity no + +#: Allow changing of the background_opacity dynamically, using either +#: keyboard shortcuts (increase_background_opacity and +#: decrease_background_opacity) or the remote control facility. +#: Changing this option by reloading the config is not supported. + +# background_tint 0.0 + +#: How much to tint the background image by the background color.

For example:: + +#: remote_control_password "my passphrase" get-colors set-colors focus-window focus-tab + +#: Only the specified actions will be allowed when using this +#: password. Glob patterns can be used too, for example:: + +#: remote_control_password "my passphrase" set-tab-* resize-* + +#: To get a list of available actions, run:: + +#: kitten @ --help + +#: A set of actions to be allowed when no password is sent can be +#: specified by using an empty password.

Can be +#: overridden by using the kitty --session =none command line option +#: for individual instances. See 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. Note that if kitty is invoked with command +#: line arguments specifying a command to run, this option is ignored. + +# 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 + +#: The maximum size (in MB) of data from programs running in kitty +#: that will be stored for writing to the system clipboard. A value of +#: 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 +#: 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 . 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 +#: possible to disable individual features, set to a space separated +#: list of these values: no-rc, no-cursor, no-title, no-cwd, no- +#: prompt-mark, no-complete, no-sudo. See Shell integration +#: for details. + +# allow_cloning ask + +#: Control whether programs running in the terminal can request new +#: windows to be created. The canonical example is clone-in-kitty +#: . +#: 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. +#: This is useful for debugging as it allows child processes to print +#: to kitty's STDOUT directly. For example, echo hello world +#: >&$KITTY_STDIO_FORWARDED in a shell will print to the parent +#: kitty's STDOUT. Sets the KITTY_STDIO_FORWARDED=fdnum environment +#: variable so child processes know about the forwarding. Note that on +#: macOS this prevents the shell from being run via the login utility +#: so getlogin() will not work in programs run in this session. + +# 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. + +#: }}} + +#: OS specific tweaks {{{ + +# 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 background + +#: 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 + +#: Hide the kitty window from running tasks on macOS (⌘+Tab and the +#: 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 + +#: Disable this if you want kitty top-level OS windows to not be +#: resizable on macOS. + +# 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 + +#: Use the macOS traditional full-screen transition, that is faster, +#: 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 +#: by reloading the config is not supported. + +# macos_colorspace srgb + +#: The colorspace in which to interpret terminal colors. The default +#: of srgb will cause colors to match those seen in web browsers. The +#: value of default will use whatever the native colorspace of the +#: display is. The value of displayp3 will use Apple's special +#: snowflake display P3 color space, which will result in over +#: saturated (brighter) colors with some color shift. Reloading +#: configuration will change this value only for newly created OS +#: windows. + +# linux_display_server auto + +#: Choose between Wayland and X11 backends. By default, an appropriate +#: backend based on the system state is chosen automatically. Set it +#: to x11 or wayland to force the choice. Changing this option by +#: reloading the config is not supported. + +# wayland_enable_ime yes + +#: Enable Input Method Extension on Wayland. This is typically used +#: for inputting text in East Asian languages. However, its +#: implementation in Wayland is often buggy and introduces latency +#: into the input loop, so disable this if you know you dont need it. +#: Changing this option by reloading the config is not supported, it +#: will not have any effect. + +#: }}} + +#: 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 Functional key definitions +#: . +#: For modifier keys, the names are ctrl (control, ⌃), shift (⇧), alt +#: (opt, option, ⌥), super (cmd, command, ⌘). + +#: Simple shortcut mapping is done with the map directive.

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.
