| #: Fonts {{{
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: kitty has very powerful font management. You can configure
 | ||
| #: individual font faces and even specify special fonts for particular
 | ||
| #: characters.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| font_family      monospace
 | ||
| # bold_font        auto
 | ||
| # italic_font      auto
 | ||
| # bold_italic_font auto
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: 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 11.0
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Font size (in pts)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # force_ltr no
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: kitty does not support BIDI (bidirectional text), however, for RTL
 | ||
| #: scripts, words are automatically displayed in RTL. That is to say,
 | ||
| #: in an RTL script, the words "HELLO WORLD" display in kitty as
 | ||
| #: "WORLD HELLO", and if you try to select a substring of an RTL-
 | ||
| #: shaped string, you will get the character that would be there had
 | ||
| #: the the string been LTR. For example, assuming the Hebrew word
 | ||
| #: ירושלים, selecting the character that on the screen appears to be ם
 | ||
| #: actually writes into the selection buffer the character י.  kitty's
 | ||
| #: default behavior is useful in conjunction with a filter to reverse
 | ||
| #: the word order, however, if you wish to manipulate RTL glyphs, it
 | ||
| #: can be very challenging to work with, so this option is provided to
 | ||
| #: turn it off. Furthermore, this option can be used with the command
 | ||
| #: line program GNU FriBidi
 | ||
| #: <https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi#executable> to get BIDI
 | ||
| #: support, because it will force kitty to always treat the text as
 | ||
| #: LTR, which FriBidi expects for terminals.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # 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).
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # adjust_baseline 0
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Adjust the vertical alignment of text (the height in the cell at
 | ||
| #: which text is positioned). You can use either numbers, which are
 | ||
| #: interpreted as pixels or a percentages (number followed by %),
 | ||
| #: which are interpreted as the percentage of the line height. A
 | ||
| #: positive value moves the baseline up, and a negative value moves
 | ||
| #: them down. The underline and strikethrough positions are adjusted
 | ||
| #: accordingly.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # symbol_map U+E0A0-U+E0A3,U+E0C0-U+E0C7 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
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Note that this refers to programming ligatures, typically
 | ||
| #: implemented using the calt OpenType feature. For disabling general
 | ||
| #: ligatures, use the font_features setting.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # font_features none
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Choose exactly which OpenType features to enable or disable. This
 | ||
| #: is useful as some fonts might have features worthwhile in a
 | ||
| #: terminal. For example, Fira Code Retina includes a discretionary
 | ||
| #: feature, zero, which in that font changes the appearance of the
 | ||
| #: zero (0), to make it more easily distinguishable from Ø. Fira Code
 | ||
| #: Retina also includes other discretionary features known as
 | ||
| #: Stylistic Sets which have the tags ss01 through ss20.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: For the exact syntax to use for individual features, see the
 | ||
| #: Harfbuzz documentation <https://harfbuzz.github.io/harfbuzz-hb-
 | ||
| #: common.html#hb-feature-from-string>.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Note that this code is indexed by PostScript name, and not the font
 | ||
| #: family. This allows you to define very precise feature settings;
 | ||
| #: e.g. you can disable a feature in the italic font but not in the
 | ||
| #: regular font.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: On Linux, these are read from the FontConfig database first and
 | ||
| #: then this, setting is applied, so they can be configured in a
 | ||
| #: single, central place.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: To get the PostScript name for a font, use kitty + list-fonts
 | ||
| #: --psnames:
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: .. code-block:: sh
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #:     $ kitty + list-fonts --psnames | grep Fira
 | ||
| #:     Fira Code
 | ||
| #:     Fira Code Bold (FiraCode-Bold)
 | ||
| #:     Fira Code Light (FiraCode-Light)
 | ||
| #:     Fira Code Medium (FiraCode-Medium)
 | ||
| #:     Fira Code Regular (FiraCode-Regular)
 | ||
| #:     Fira Code Retina (FiraCode-Retina)
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: The part in brackets is the PostScript name.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Enable alternate zero and oldstyle numerals::
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #:     font_features FiraCode-Retina +zero +onum
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Enable only alternate zero::
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #:     font_features FiraCode-Retina +zero
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Disable the normal ligatures, but keep the calt feature which (in
 | ||
| #: this font) breaks up monotony::
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #:     font_features TT2020StyleB-Regular -liga +calt
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: In conjunction with force_ltr, you may want to disable Arabic
 | ||
| #: shaping entirely, and only look at their isolated forms if they
 | ||
| #: show up in a document. You can do this with e.g.::
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #:     font_features UnifontMedium +isol -medi -fina -init
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # 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.

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: 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 performance of the terminal and

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # scrollback_pager less --chop-long-lines --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS +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. Similarly CURSOR_LINE and
 | ||
| #: CURSOR_COLUMN will be replaced by the current cursor position.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # scrollback_pager_history_size 0
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: 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 the data in UTF-8, so approximatively 10000
 | ||
| #: lines per megabyte at 100 chars per line, for pure ASCII text,
 | ||
| #: unformatted text. A value of zero or less disables this feature.
 | ||
| #: The maximum allowed size is 4GB. Note that on config reload if this

| #: is changed it will only affect newly created windows, not existing
 | ||
| #: ones.
 | ||

 | ||
| #: enlarging a window.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # 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
 | ||

 | ||
| #: Set to a negative value to hide the mouse cursor immediately when
 | ||
| #: typing text. Disabled by default on macOS as getting it to work

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # url_color #0087bd

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # open_url_with default
 | ||
|

 | ||
| # copy_on_select no
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: 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
 | ||
|

| #: 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
 | ||
| #: alphanumeric 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.

| 
 | ||
| # default_pointer_shape beam

 | ||
| #: ``b1 ... b8`` with added keyboard modifiers, for example:
 | ||
| #: ``ctrl+shift+left`` refers to holding the ctrl+shift keys while
 | ||
| #: clicking with the left mouse button. The number ``b1 ... b8`` can
 | ||
| #: be used to refer to upto eight buttons on a mouse.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: ``event-type`` is one ``press``, ``release``, ``doublepress``,
 | ||
| #: ``triplepress``, ``click`` and ``doubleclick``.  ``modes``
 | ||
| #: indicates whether the action is performed when the mouse is grabbed
 | ||
| #: by the program running in the terminal, or not. It can have one or
 | ||
| #: more or the values, ``grabbed,ungrabbed``. ``grabbed`` refers to
 | ||
| #: when the program running in the terminal has requested mouse
 | ||
| #: events. Note that the click and double click events have a delay of
 | ||
| #: click_interval to disambiguate from double and triple presses.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: You can run kitty with the kitty --debug-input command line option
 | ||
| #: to see mouse events. See the builtin actions below to get a sense
 | ||
| #: of what is possible.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: If you want to unmap an action map it to ``no-op``. For example, to
 | ||
| #: disable opening of URLs with a plain click::

| 
 | ||
| #:     mouse_map left click ungrabbed no-op
 | ||
|

| # window_margin_width 0
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: The window margin (in pts) (blank area outside the border). A

 | ||
| # single_window_margin_width -1
 | ||
|

| # window_padding_width 0
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: The window padding (in pts) (blank area between the text and the

| #: window border). A single value sets all four sides. Two values set
 | ||
| #: the vertical and horizontal sides. Three values set top, horizontal
 | ||
| #: and bottom. Four values set top, right, bottom and left.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # placement_strategy center
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: When the window size is not an exact multiple of the cell size, the
 | ||
| #: cell area of the terminal window will have some extra padding on
 | ||
| #: the sides. You can control how that padding is distributed with
 | ||
| #: this option. Using a value of center means the cell area will be

 | ||
| #: scaled. A value of blank means draw a blank window. A value of size
 | ||
| #: means show the window size in cells.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # resize_in_steps no
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Resize the OS window in steps as large as the cells, instead of
 | ||
| #: with the usual pixel accuracy. Combined with an
 | ||
| #: initial_window_width and initial_window_height in number of cells,
 | ||
| #: this option can be used to keep the margins as small as possible

| # confirm_os_window_close 0
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Ask for confirmation when closing an OS window or a tab that has at

| #: layout name and {num_windows} for the number of windows in the tab.
 | ||
| #: Note that formatting is done by Python's string formatting

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # 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,

 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Keyboard shortcuts {{{
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Keys are identified simply by their lowercase unicode characters.
 | ||
| #: For example: ``a`` for the A key, ``[`` for the left square bracket
 | ||
| #: key, etc. For functional keys, such as ``Enter or Escape`` the
 | ||
| #: names are present at https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-
 | ||
| #: protocol.html#functional-key-definitions. 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 can only use an XKB key
 | ||
| #: name for keys that are not known as GLFW keys.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: Finally, you can use raw system key codes to map keys, again only
 | ||
| #: for keys that are not known as GLFW keys. To see the system key
 | ||
| #: code for a key, start kitty with the kitty --debug-input 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::
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #:     map kitty_mod+space no_op
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: 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
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: You can have kitty remove all shortcut definition seen up to this
 | ||
| #: point. Useful, for instance, to remove the default shortcuts.
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| # kitten_alias hints hints --hints-offset=0
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: You can create aliases for kitten names, this allows overriding the
 | ||
| #: defaults for kitten options and can also be used to shorten
 | ||
| #: repeated mappings of the same kitten with a specific group of
 | ||
| #: options. For example, the above alias changes the default value of
 | ||
| #: kitty +kitten hints --hints-offset to zero for all mappings,
 | ||
| #: including the builtin ones.

| #: send an interrupt otherwise. Similarly, copy_and_clear_or_interrupt
 | ||
| #: will copy and clear the selection or send an interrupt if there is
 | ||
| #: no selection.

| #: program using pass_selection_to_program. By default, the system's
 | ||
| #: open program is used, but you can specify your own, the selection
 | ||
| #: will be passed as a command line argument to the program, for
 | ||
| #: example::
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #:     map kitty_mod+o pass_selection_to_program firefox
 | ||
| 
 | ||
| #: You can pass the current selection to a terminal program running in
