kitty

I mostly switched to librem 14, arch linux (i3wm, gnome from time to time), still using a mac for work (mostly presentations, video conferencing). Development tends to get more and more difficult on the mac for me (the security check for running shell programs is sometimes annoying. Currently hunting down a node compile error ... works perfectly under arch). For my mac: I tried Amethyst, as others mentioned Yabai seems better. Yet, I switched to just to hammerspoon scripts, for tiling/desktop management etc.: http://www.hammerspoon.org/ It fits my needs and is adjustable. For shell: iterm2 is ok, yet I'm currently in love with kitty. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty Brew alternatives: macports, nix (https://nixos.org) I love the idea, yet still haven't gotten around to use it much. shell: fish editor: nvim / neovide

catting a file in kitty can delete files from /tmp [1]. I don't think Kitty's enthusiasm for merging features without thinking about them hard enough is a good way to go either. [1]: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/blob/2350952d054bcaf945a...

I wasn't aware of this, but it appears to just be update checking with no user data transmitted [0]. I would love any other information if there is more to it. [0]: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/3802

no, Notcurses supports both Sixel and the Kitty protocol (indeed, i proposed https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/3809, which drastically cut down on the bandwidth necessary for certain operations), in addition to the Linux framebuffer console (where we use a direct mmap of the framebuffer). WezTerm recently added support for the Kitty protocol, and indeed Notcurses was used to validate that work: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/986. i sat down to design the ultimate terminal graphics protocol, and it ended looking so much like Kitty's that i resolved to just advocate terminals pick up that one: https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php?title=Spriteful_TE... btw if you want some insight into how Sixel/Kitty are used together with glyphs, i wrote it up here: https://nick-black.com/dankwiki/index.php?title=Theory_and_P... sorry

There is already a de facto standard for extended codes: Xterm's modifyOtherKeys. Applications: https://vimhelp.org/map.txt.html#modifyOtherKeys https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/d68f2b8681f8eeb6b... https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/commit/47c0d2038807757207cd... https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Modifier-Keys#extended-key... https://github.com/magiblot/tvision/commit/a50569f549465c9ed... Terminals: xterm (obviously) https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/commit/ac1aa575011028ed86... https://github.com/r-c-f/foot https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/commit/d360d077d1f7723b1... https://github.com/tomszilagyi/zutty https://github.com/mintty/mintty/blob/master/wiki/CtrlSeqs.m...

I hope it "obsoletes" kitty as well https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/pull/3544#issuecomment-8...

A couple of alternatives for Linux users. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IBus#Emoji_input The kitty terminal emulator supports this out of the box (it also works on two other platforms): https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty Ctrl+Shift+U opens a Unicode input panel with fuzzy search by symbol code or name.

Kitty terminal is about half python as well with extension opportunities and would probably be a good early project opportunity for some people. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty Also, renpy is used for a number of games, including some commercial games, so modifiying an existing game would be another option. (As a side note, I wish someone would make a python point and click adventure equivalent of renpy since for being such basic games they very often have major technical issues).

I've been learning kitty the past few days. It also has several extensions (image mode, more complete keyboard handling, and a few others): https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/protocol-extensions.html Here is an overview of image modes: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/33 The terminal hyperlink thing seems quite useful. Kitty has some magic where if you click a hyperlink over a direct ssh connection it shows you a menu that has some options like download or download/open in editor/reupload when done. I haven't checked the details yet how it determines that you are in an ssh session.

For people interested in playing around with different terminal emulators, you’d do yourself a service trying kitty [https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty]. It made my experience on high DPI screens far better. You can find it packaged up in the usual places (e.g. Debian).
