#: Fonts {{{
|
|
|
|
#: kitty has very powerful font management. You can configure
|
|
#: individual font faces and even specify special fonts for particular
|
|
#: characters.
|
|
|
|
font_family JetBrains Mono Regular
|
|
bold_font JetBrains Mono SemiBold
|
|
italic_font JetBrains Mono Italic
|
|
bold_italic_font JetBrains Mono SemiBold Italic
|
|
|
|
#: 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. 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 16.0
|
|
|
|
#: Font size (in pts)
|
|
|
|
# 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).
|
|
|
|
# symbol_map U+E0A0-U+E0A2,U+E0B0-U+E0B3 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
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
|
|
|
# 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.

#: Scrollback {{{
|
|
|
|
scrollback_lines 4096
|
|
|
|
#: 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 resizing of the terminal and also
|
|
#: use large amounts of RAM.
|
|
|
|
# scrollback_pager less --chop-long-lines --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS +INPUT_LINE_NUMBER
|
|
|
|
scrollback_pager nvim +AnsiEsc +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.
|
|
|
|
scrollback_pager_history_size 2
|
|
|
|
#: 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 one character in 4 bytes, so approximatively
|
|
#: 2500 lines per megabyte at 100 chars per line. A value of zero or
|
|
#: less disables this feature. The maximum allowed size is 4GB.
|
|
|
|
# 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.
|
|
|
|
# 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.
|
|
|
|
# url_color #0087bd
|
|
# url_style curly
|
|
|
|
#: The color and style for highlighting URLs on mouse-over. url_style
|
|
#: can be one of: none, single, double, curly
|
|
|
|
open_url_with xdg-open
|
|
|
|
#: 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.
|
|
|
|
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 cmd+shift+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 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. 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
|
|
#: alpha-numeric 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

|
|
|
|
#: Performance tuning {{{
|
|
|
|
# repaint_delay 10
|
|
|
|
#: Delay (in milliseconds) between screen updates. 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.
|
|
|
|
# input_delay 3
|
|
|
|
#: Delay (in milliseconds) before input from the program running in
|
|
#: the terminal is processed. 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.
|
|
|
|
# sync_to_monitor yes
|
|
|
|
#: Sync screen updates to the refresh rate of the monitor. This
|
|
#: prevents tearing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 no
|
|
|
|
#: Enable/disable the audio bell. Useful in environments that require
|
|
#: silence.
|
|
|
|
# visual_bell_duration 0.0
|
|
|
|
#: Visual bell duration. Flash the screen when a bell occurs for the
|
|
#: specified number of seconds. Set to zero to disable.
|
|
|
|
window_alert_on_bell no
|
|
|
|
#: Request window attention on bell. Makes the dock icon bounce on
|
|
#: macOS or the taskbar flash on linux.
|
|
|
|
bell_on_tab no
|
|
|
|
#: Show a bell symbol on the tab if a bell occurs in one of the
|
|
#: windows in the tab and the window is not the currently focused
|

#: window
|
|
|
|
command_on_bell none

#: They are meant to separate multiple windows.
|
|
|
|
# draw_minimal_borders yes
|
|
|
|
#: Draw only the minimum borders needed. This means that only the
|
|
#: minimum needed borders for inactive windows are drawn. That is only
|
|
#: the borders that separate the inactive window from a neighbor. Note
|
|
#: that setting a non-zero window margin overrides this and causes all

|
|
#: The window padding (in pts) (blank area between the text and the
|
|
#: window border)

#: cell area of the terminal window will have some extra padding on
|
|
#: the sides. You can control how that padding is distributed with
|
|

|
# resize_debounce_time 0.1
|
|
|
|
#: The time (in seconds) to wait before redrawing the screen when a

|
|
# resize_draw_strategy static
|
|
|
|
#: Choose how kitty draws a window while a resize is in progress. A
|
|
#: value of static means draw the current window contents, mostly

|
# 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.
|
|
|
|
# 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.
|
|
|
|
# update_check_interval 0.0
|
|
|
|
#: 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.
|
|
|
|
# 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/index.html#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.
|
|
|
|
clipboard_control write-clipboard write-primary read-clipboard read-primary
|
|
|
|
#: 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. You can additionally specify no-append to
|
|
#: disable kitty's protocol extension for clipboard concatenation. The
|
|
#: default is to allow writing to the clipboard and primary selection
|
|
#: with concatenation enabled. Note that enabling the read
|
|
#: functionality is a security risk as it means that any program, even
|
|
#: one running on a remote server via SSH can read your clipboard.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
shell_integration enabled no-title no-cursor
|
|
|
|
#: 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

# 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, 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,
|
|
#: right or both Option keys as Alt, instead.
|
|
|
|
# macos_hide_from_tasks no
|
|
|
|
#: Hide the kitty window from running tasks (Option+Tab) on macOS.
|
|
|
|
# macos_quit_when_last_window_closed no
|
|
|
|
#: Have kitty quit when all the top-level windows are closed. 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. For example, a value of
|
|
#: 0.75 will result in rendering that looks similar to sub-pixel
|
|
#: antialiasing at common font sizes.
|
|
|
|
# macos_traditional_fullscreen no
|
|
|
|
#: Use the traditional full-screen transition, that is faster, but
|
|
#: less pretty.
|
|
|
|
# macos_show_window_title_in_menubar yes
|
|
|
|
#: Show the title of the currently active window in the macOS menu-
|
|
#: bar, making use of otherwise wasted space.
|
|
|
|
# macos_custom_beam_cursor no
|
|
|
|
#: Enable/disable custom mouse cursor for macOS that is easier to see
|
|
#: on both light and dark backgrounds. WARNING: this might make your
|
|
#: mouse cursor invisible on dual GPU machines.
|
|
|
|
# linux_display_server auto
|
|
|
|
#: Choose between Wayland and X11 backends. By default, an appropriate

|
#: to x11 or wayland to force the choice.

#: Keyboard shortcuts {{{
|
|
|
|
#: For a list of key names, see: GLFW keys
|
|
#: <https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/group__keys.html>. The name to
|
|
#: use is the part after the GLFW_KEY_ prefix. For a list of modifier
|
|
#: names, see: 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/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 should only use an XKB key
|
|
#: name for keys that are not present in the list of GLFW keys.
|
|
|
|
#: Finally, you can use raw system key codes to map keys. To see the
|
|
#: system key code for a key, start kitty with the kitty --debug-
|
|
#: keyboard 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.
|
|
|
|
#: 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
|
|
|
|
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
