    I like how they show a thin sliver of something that looks like a standard terminal output instead of a screenshot of what this actually looks like on your desktop.

    Seems outside of what one would expect from a terminal. There’s dedicated app to handle this task.

      Sorry if I sound dumb, but which kind of program would be the one to display the output of text based interfaces, also called terminal applications, if not a terminal?

    Fuck this project for stealing the name from KiTTy, a PuTTy fork. Years ago it was brought to the devs attention and he doubled down on the name. The way they handled it deserves no respect.

    Cool, but now SSH into a remote server and then try to open nano. It doesn’t.

    After using it for 3 weeks I concluded that as Kitty breaks the fundamentals all the nice shiny isn’t worth it.

      Just install terminfo.

      It is intended behavior, almost every terminal requires terminfo. It is just that terminfo for most popular (or older) ones comes preinstalled.

      All new niche terminal suffer from it. Foot has the same problem.

        Or override the TERM variable in your ssh config. Setting it to an xterm value has been supported by any niche term I’ve used over the years without sacrificing any of the usual functions.

      use the ssh kitten at least once and it will install the terminfo for you

    I want my terminal to just work, so all this kitty stuff is overboard for me, but good for them!
