   3 #: Fonts {{{
   4 
   5 #: kitty has very powerful font management. You can configure
   6 #: individual font faces and even specify special fonts for particular
   7 #: characters.
   8 
   9 # font_family      Ubuntu Mono Nerd Font
  10 # font_family      FiraCode-Regular
  11 font_family      JetBrainsMono-Regular
  12 bold_font        JetBrainsMono-Bold
  13 italic_font      JetBrainsMono-Italic
  14 bold_italic_font JetBrainsMono-Bold-Italic
  15 
  16 #: You can specify different fonts for the bold/italic/bold-italic
  17 #: variants. To get a full list of supported fonts use the `kitty
  18 #: list-fonts` command. By default they are derived automatically, by
  19 #: the OSes font system. Setting them manually is useful for font
  20 #: families that have many weight variants like Book, Medium, Thick,
  21 #: etc. For example::
  22 
  23 #:     font_family      Operator Mono Book
  24 #:     bold_font        Operator Mono Medium
  25 #:     italic_font      Operator Mono Book Italic
  26 #:     bold_italic_font Operator Mono Medium Italic
  27 
  28 font_size 10
  29 
  30 #: Font size (in pts)
  31 
  32 force_ltr no
  33 
  34 #: kitty does not support BIDI (bidirectional text), however, for RTL
  35 #: scripts, words are automatically displayed in RTL. That is to say,
  36 #: in an RTL script, the words "HELLO WORLD" display in kitty as
  37 #: "WORLD HELLO", and if you try to select a substring of an RTL-
  38 #: shaped string, you will get the character that would be there had
  39 #: the the string been LTR. For example, assuming the Hebrew word
  40 #: ירושלים, selecting the character that on the screen appears to be ם
  41 #: actually writes into the selection buffer the character י.
  42 
  43 #: kitty's default behavior is useful in conjunction with a filter to
  44 #: reverse the word order, however, if you wish to manipulate RTL
  45 #: glyphs, it can be very challenging to work with, so this option is
  46 #: provided to turn it off. Furthermore, this option can be used with
  47 #: the command line program GNU FriBidi
  48 #: <https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi#executable> to get BIDI
  49 #: support, because it will force kitty to always treat the text as
  50 #: LTR, which FriBidi expects for terminals.
  51 
  52 adjust_line_height  5%
  53 adjust_column_width 5%
  54 
  55 #: Change the size of each character cell kitty renders. You can use
  56 #: either numbers, which are interpreted as pixels or percentages
  57 #: (number followed by %), which are interpreted as percentages of the
  58 #: unmodified values. You can use negative pixels or percentages less
  59 #: than 100% to reduce sizes (but this might cause rendering
  60 #: artifacts).
  61 
  62 # symbol_map U+E0A0-U+E0A3,U+E0C0-U+E0C7 PowerlineSymbols
  63 
  64 #: Map the specified unicode codepoints to a particular font. Useful
  65 #: if you need special rendering for some symbols, such as for
  66 #: Powerline. Avoids the need for patched fonts. Each unicode code
  67 #: point is specified in the form U+<code point in hexadecimal>. You
  68 #: can specify multiple code points, separated by commas and ranges
  69 #: separated by hyphens. symbol_map itself can be specified multiple
  70 #: times. Syntax is::
  71 
  72 #:     symbol_map codepoints Font Family Name
  73 
  74 disable_ligatures never
  75 
  76 #: Choose how you want to handle multi-character ligatures. The
  77 #: default is to always render them.  You can tell kitty to not render
  78 #: them when the cursor is over them by using cursor to make editing
  79 #: easier, or have kitty never render them at all by using always, if
  80 #: you don't like them. The ligature strategy can be set per-window
  81 #: either using the kitty remote control facility or by defining
  82 #: shortcuts for it in kitty.conf, for example::
  83 
  84 #:     map alt+1 disable_ligatures_in active always
  85 #:     map alt+2 disable_ligatures_in all never
  86 #:     map alt+3 disable_ligatures_in tab cursor
  87 
  88 #: Note that this refers to programming ligatures, typically
  89 #: implemented using the calt OpenType feature. For disabling general
  90 #: ligatures, use the font_features setting.
  91 
  92 font_features none
  93 
  94 #: Choose exactly which OpenType features to enable or disable. This
  95 #: is useful as some fonts might have features worthwhile in a
  96 #: terminal. For example, Fira Code Retina includes a discretionary
  97 #: feature, zero, which in that font changes the appearance of the
  98 #: zero (0), to make it more easily distinguishable from Ø. Fira Code
  99 #: Retina also includes other discretionary features known as
 100 #: Stylistic Sets which have the tags ss01 through ss20.
 101 
 102 #: Note that this code is indexed by PostScript name, and not the font
 103 #: family. This allows you to define very precise feature settings;
 104 #: e.g. you can disable a feature in the italic font but not in the
 105 #: regular font.
 106 
 107 #: On Linux, these are read from the FontConfig database first and
 108 #: then this, setting is applied, so they can be configured in a
 109 #: single, central place.
 110 
 111 #: To get the PostScript name for a font, use kitty + list-fonts
 112 #: --psnames:
 113 
 114 #: .. code-block:: sh
 115 
 116 #:     $ kitty + list-fonts --psnames | grep Fira
 117 #:     Fira Code
 118 #:     Fira Code Bold (FiraCode-Bold)
 119 #:     Fira Code Light (FiraCode-Light)
 120 #:     Fira Code Medium (FiraCode-Medium)
 121 #:     Fira Code Regular (FiraCode-Regular)
 122 #:     Fira Code Retina (FiraCode-Retina)
 123 
 124 #: The part in brackets is the PostScript name.
 125 
 126 #: Enable alternate zero and oldstyle numerals::
 127 
 128 #:     font_features FiraCode-Retina +zero +onum
 129 
 130 #: Enable only alternate zero::
 131 
 132 #:     font_features FiraCode-Retina +zero
 133 
 134 #: Disable the normal ligatures, but keep the calt feature which (in
 135 #: this font) breaks up monotony::
 136 
 137 #:     font_features TT2020StyleB-Regular -liga +calt
 138 
 139 #: In conjunction with force_ltr, you may want to disable Arabic
 140 #: shaping entirely, and only look at their isolated forms if they
 141 #: show up in a document. You can do this with e.g.::
 142 
 143 #:     font_features UnifontMedium +isol -medi -fina -init
 144 
 145 box_drawing_scale 0.001, 1, 1.5, 2
 146 
 147 #: Change the sizes of the lines used for the box drawing unicode
 148 #: characters These values are in pts. They will be scaled by the
 149 #: monitor DPI to arrive at a pixel value. There must be four values
 150 #: corresponding to thin, normal, thick, and very thick lines.

 192 #: Scrollback {{{
 193 
 194 scrollback_lines 5000
 195 
 196 #: Number of lines of history to keep in memory for scrolling back.
 197 #: Memory is allocated on demand. Negative numbers are (effectively)
 198 #: infinite scrollback. Note that using very large scrollback is not
 199 #: recommended as it can slow down performance of the terminal and
 200 #: also use large amounts of RAM. Instead, consider using
 201 #: scrollback_pager_history_size.
 202 
 203 scrollback_pager less --chop-long-lines --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS +INPUT_LINE_NUMBER
 204 
 205 #: Program with which to view scrollback in a new window. The
 206 #: scrollback buffer is passed as STDIN to this program. If you change
 207 #: it, make sure the program you use can handle ANSI escape sequences
 208 #: for colors and text formatting. INPUT_LINE_NUMBER in the command
 209 #: line above will be replaced by an integer representing which line
 210 #: should be at the top of the screen. Similarly CURSOR_LINE and
 211 #: CURSOR_COLUMN will be replaced by the current cursor position.
 212 
 213 scrollback_pager_history_size 0
 214 
 215 #: Separate scrollback history size, used only for browsing the
 216 #: scrollback buffer (in MB). This separate buffer is not available
 217 #: for interactive scrolling but will be piped to the pager program
 218 #: when viewing scrollback buffer in a separate window. The current
 219 #: implementation stores the data in UTF-8, so approximatively 10000
 220 #: lines per megabyte at 100 chars per line, for pure ASCII text,
 221 #: unformatted text. A value of zero or less disables this feature.
 222 #: The maximum allowed size is 4GB.
 223 
 224 scrollback_fill_enlarged_window no
 225 
 226 #: Fill new space with lines from the scrollback buffer after
 227 #: enlarging a window.
 228 
 229 wheel_scroll_multiplier 5.0
 230 
 231 #: Modify the amount scrolled by the mouse wheel. Note this is only
 232 #: used for low precision scrolling devices, not for high precision
 233 #: scrolling on platforms such as macOS and Wayland. Use negative
 234 #: numbers to change scroll direction.
 235 
 236 touch_scroll_multiplier 1.0
 237 
 238 #: Modify the amount scrolled by a touchpad. Note this is only used
 239 #: for high precision scrolling devices on platforms such as macOS and
 240 #: Wayland. Use negative numbers to change scroll direction.

 245 
 246 mouse_hide_wait 3.0
 247 
 248 #: Hide mouse cursor after the specified number of seconds of the
 249 #: mouse not being used. Set to zero to disable mouse cursor hiding.
 250 #: Set to a negative value to hide the mouse cursor immediately when
 251 #: typing text. Disabled by default on macOS as getting it to work
 252 #: robustly with the ever-changing sea of bugs that is Cocoa is too
 253 #: much effort.
 254 
 255 url_color #0087bd
 256 url_style curly
 257 
 258 #: The color and style for highlighting URLs on mouse-over. url_style
 259 #: can be one of: none, single, double, curly

 275 #: mouse cursor.
 276 
 277 detect_urls yes
 278 
 279 #: Detect URLs under the mouse. Detected URLs are highlighted with an
 280 #: underline and the mouse cursor becomes a hand over them. Even if
 281 #: this option is disabled, URLs are still clickable.
 282 
 283 copy_on_select no
 284 
 285 #: Copy to clipboard or a private buffer on select. With this set to
 286 #: clipboard, simply selecting text with the mouse will cause the text
 287 #: to be copied to clipboard. Useful on platforms such as macOS that
 288 #: do not have the concept of primary selections. You can instead
 289 #: specify a name such as a1 to copy to a private kitty buffer
 290 #: instead. Map a shortcut with the paste_from_buffer action to paste
 291 #: from this private buffer. For example::
 292 
 293 #:     map cmd+shift+v paste_from_buffer a1
 294 
 295 #: Note that copying to the clipboard is a security risk, as all
 296 #: programs, including websites open in your browser can read the
 297 #: contents of the system clipboard.
 298 
 299 strip_trailing_spaces never
 300 
 301 #: Remove spaces at the end of lines when copying to clipboard. A
 302 #: value of smart will do it when using normal selections, but not
 303 #: rectangle selections. always will always do it.

 319 #: alphanumeric character in the unicode database will be matched.
 320 
 321 click_interval -1.0
 322 
 323 #: The interval between successive clicks to detect double/triple
 324 #: clicks (in seconds). Negative numbers will use the system default
 325 #: instead, if available, or fallback to 0.5.
 326 
 327 focus_follows_mouse no

 349 #: Performance tuning {{{
 350 
 351 repaint_delay 11
 352 
 353 #: Delay (in milliseconds) between screen updates. Decreasing it,
 354 #: increases frames-per-second (FPS) at the cost of more CPU usage.
 355 #: The default value yields ~100 FPS which is more than sufficient for
 356 #: most uses. Note that to actually achieve 100 FPS you have to either
 357 #: set sync_to_monitor to no or use a monitor with a high refresh
 358 #: rate. Also, to minimize latency when there is pending input to be
 359 #: processed, repaint_delay is ignored.
 360 
 361 input_delay 8
 362 
 363 #: Delay (in milliseconds) before input from the program running in
 364 #: the terminal is processed. Note that decreasing it will increase
 365 #: responsiveness, but also increase CPU usage and might cause flicker
 366 #: in full screen programs that redraw the entire screen on each loop,
 367 #: because kitty is so fast that partial screen updates will be drawn.
 368 
 369 sync_to_monitor yes
 370 
 371 #: Sync screen updates to the refresh rate of the monitor. This
 372 #: prevents tearing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing)
 373 #: when scrolling. However, it limits the rendering speed to the
 374 #: refresh rate of your monitor. With a very high speed mouse/high
 375 #: keyboard repeat rate, you may notice some slight input latency. If
 376 #: so, set this to no.

 412 initial_window_width  640
 413 initial_window_height 400
 414 
 415 #: If enabled, the window size will be remembered so that new
 416 #: instances of kitty will have the same size as the previous
 417 #: instance. If disabled, the window will initially have size
 418 #: configured by initial_window_width/height, in pixels. You can use a
 419 #: suffix of "c" on the width/height values to have them interpreted
 420 #: as number of cells instead of pixels.
 421 
 422 enabled_layouts *
 423 
 424 #: The enabled window layouts. A comma separated list of layout names.
 425 #: The special value all means all layouts. The first listed layout

 435 #: and the lines value for vertical resizing.
 436 
 437 window_border_width 0pt
 438 
 439 #: The width of window borders. Can be either in pixels (px) or pts
 440 #: (pt). Values in pts will be rounded to the nearest number of pixels
 441 #: based on screen resolution. If not specified the unit is assumed to
 442 #: be pts. Note that borders are displayed only when more than one
 443 #: window is visible. They are meant to separate multiple windows.
 444 
 445 draw_minimal_borders yes
 446 
 447 #: Draw only the minimum borders needed. This means that only the
 448 #: minimum needed borders for inactive windows are drawn. That is only

 451 #: borders to be drawn.
 452 
 453 window_margin_width 0
 454 
 455 #: The window margin (in pts) (blank area outside the border). A
 456 #: single value sets all four sides. Two values set the vertical and

 458 #: values set top, right, bottom and left.
 459 
 460 single_window_margin_width -1
 461 
 462 #: The window margin (in pts) to use when only a single window is
 463 #: visible. Negative values will cause the value of
 464 #: window_margin_width to be used instead. A single value sets all
 465 #: four sides. Two values set the vertical and horizontal sides. Three

 468 
 469 window_padding_width 0
 470 
 471 #: The window padding (in pts) (blank area between the text and the
 472 #: window border). A single value sets all four sides. Two values set
 473 #: the vertical and horizontal sides. Three values set top, horizontal
 474 #: and bottom. Four values set top, right, bottom and left.
 475 
 476 placement_strategy center
 477 
 478 #: When the window size is not an exact multiple of the cell size, the
 479 #: cell area of the terminal window will have some extra padding on
 480 #: the sides. You can control how that padding is distributed with
 481 #: this option. Using a value of center means the cell area will be
 482 #: placed centrally. A value of top-left means the padding will be on
 483 #: only the bottom and right edges.
 484 
 485 active_border_color #00ff00

 504 hide_window_decorations no
 505 
 506 #: Hide the window decorations (title-bar and window borders) with
 507 #: yes. On macOS, titlebar-only can be used to only hide the titlebar.
 508 #: Whether this works and exactly what effect it has depends on the
 509 #: window manager/operating system.
 510 
 511 resize_debounce_time 0.1
 512 
 513 #: The time (in seconds) to wait before redrawing the screen when a
 514 #: resize event is received. On platforms such as macOS, where the
 515 #: operating system sends events corresponding to the start and end of
 516 #: a resize, this number is ignored.
 517 
 518 resize_draw_strategy static
 519 
 520 #: Choose how kitty draws a window while a resize is in progress. A
 521 #: value of static means draw the current window contents, mostly
 522 #: unchanged. A value of scale means draw the current window contents
 523 #: scaled. A value of blank means draw a blank window. A value of size
 524 #: means show the window size in cells.
 525 
 526 resize_in_steps no
 527 
 528 #: Resize the OS window in steps as large as the cells, instead of
 529 #: with the usual pixel accuracy. Combined with an
 530 #: initial_window_width and initial_window_height in number of cells,
 531 #: this option can be used to keep the margins as small as possible

 570 
 571 #: The algorithm to use when switching to a tab when the current tab
 572 #: is closed. The default of previous will switch to the last used
 573 #: tab. A value of left will switch to the tab to the left of the
 574 #: closed tab. A value of right will switch to the tab to the right of
 575 #: the closed tab. A value of last will switch to the right-most tab.

 577 tab_fade 0.25 0.5 0.75 1
 578 
 579 #: Control how each tab fades into the background when using fade for
 580 #: the tab_bar_style. Each number is an alpha (between zero and one)
 581 #: that controls how much the corresponding cell fades into the
 582 #: background, with zero being no fade and one being full fade. You
 583 #: can change the number of cells used by adding/removing entries to

 601 
 602 tab_title_template "{title}"
 603 
 604 #: A template to render the tab title. The default just renders the
 605 #: title. If you wish to include the tab-index as well, use something
 606 #: like: {index}: {title}. Useful if you have shortcuts mapped for
 607 #: goto_tab N. In addition you can use {layout_name} for the current
 608 #: layout name and {num_windows} for the number of windows in the tab.
 609 #: Note that formatting is done by Python's string formatting
 610 #: machinery, so you can use, for instance, {layout_name[:2].upper()}
 611 #: to show only the first two letters of the layout name, upper-cased.
 612 #: If you want to style the text, you can use styling directives, for
 613 #: example: {fmt.fg.red}red{fmt.fg.default}normal{fmt.bg._00FF00}green

 807 
 808 #: Allow other programs to control kitty. If you turn this on other
 809 #: programs can control all aspects of kitty, including sending text
 810 #: to kitty windows, opening new windows, closing windows, reading the
 811 #: content of windows, etc.  Note that this even works over ssh

 813 #: within kitty to control it, with yes or only programs that connect
 814 #: to the socket specified with the kitty --listen-on command line

 865 #: set of possible actions is: write-clipboard read-clipboard write-
 866 #: primary read-primary. You can additionally specify no-append to
 867 #: disable kitty's protocol extension for clipboard concatenation. The
 868 #: default is to allow writing to the clipboard and primary selection
 869 #: with concatenation enabled. Note that enabling the read
 870 #: functionality is a security risk as it means that any program, even
 871 #: one running on a remote server via SSH can read your clipboard.

1112 map kitty_mod+enter new_window
1113 
1114 #: You can open a new window running an arbitrary program, for
1115 #: example::
1116 
1117 #:     map kitty_mod+y      launch mutt
1118 
1119 #: You can open a new window with the current working directory set to
1120 #: the working directory of the current window using::
1121 
1122 #:     map ctrl+alt+enter    launch --cwd=current
1123 
1124 #: You can open a new window that is allowed to control kitty via the
1125 #: kitty remote control facility by prefixing the command line with @.
1126 #: Any programs running in that window will be allowed to control
1127 #: kitty. For example::
1128 
1129 #:     map ctrl+enter launch --allow-remote-control some_program
1130 
1131 #: You can open a new window next to the currently active window or as
1132 #: the first window, with::
1133 
1134 #:     map ctrl+n launch --location=neighbor some_program
1135 #:     map ctrl+f launch --location=first some_program
1136 
1137 #: For more details, see launch.

1139 map kitty_mod+n new_os_window
1140 
1141 #: Works like new_window above, except that it opens a top level OS

1301 #:     # Scroll the contents of the screen into the scrollback
1302 #:     map kitty_mod+f12 clear_terminal scroll active
1303 
1304 #: If you want to operate on all windows instead of just the current
1305 #: one, use all instead of active.
1306 
1307 #: It is also possible to remap Ctrl+L to both scroll the current
1308 #: screen contents into the scrollback buffer and clear the screen,
1309 #: instead of just clearing the screen::
1310 
1311 #:     map ctrl+l combine : clear_terminal scroll active : send_text normal,application \x0c
1312 
1313 
1314 #: You can tell kitty to send arbitrary (UTF-8) encoded text to the
1315 #: client program when pressing specified shortcut keys. For example::
1316 
1317 #:     map ctrl+alt+a send_text all Special text
1318 
1319 #: This will send "Special text" when you press the ctrl+alt+a key
1320 #: combination.  The text to be sent is a python string literal so you
1321 #: can use escapes like \x1b to send control codes or \u21fb to send
1322 #: unicode characters (or you can just input the unicode characters
1323 #: directly as UTF-8 text). The first argument to send_text is the
1324 #: keyboard modes in which to activate the shortcut. The possible
1325 #: values are normal or application or kitty or a comma separated
1326 #: combination of them.  The special keyword all means all modes. The
1327 #: modes normal and application refer to the DECCKM cursor key mode
1328 #: for terminals, and kitty refers to the special kitty extended
1329 #: keyboard protocol.
1330 
1331 #: Another example, that outputs a word and then moves the cursor to
1332 #: the start of the line (same as pressing the Home key)::
1333 
1334 #:     map ctrl+alt+a send_text normal Word\x1b[H
1335 #:     map ctrl+alt+a send_text application Word\x1bOH
