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?
It appears to have the display functionality of swaybar, the default dock of Sway.
That’s good stuff right there.
Sorry, no, don’t want that in a terminal.
Neat
I want my terminal to just work, so all this kitty stuff is overboard for me, but good for them!
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.
I have literally never had any issue with Kitty on any of my servers or local machines
alias ss=kitty +kitten ssh
Can it dance dance dance and dance dance dance?
