Installation
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
kitty is designed to run from source, for easy hackability. Make sure the
|
||||
following dependencies are installed first:
|
||||
|
||||
* python >= 3.5
|
||||
* glew >= 2.0
|
||||
* glfw-dev >= 3.2
|
||||
* freetype
|
||||
* fontconfig
|
||||
* gcc (required for building, clang should also work, but it is not tested)
|
||||
* pkg-config (required for building)
|
||||
|
||||
Install kitty with:
|
||||
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty && cd kitty
|
||||
|
||||
Now build the C parts of kitty with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
python3 setup.py build
|
||||
|
||||
You can run kitty, as:
|
||||
|
||||
python3 /path/to/kitty/folder
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
kitty is highly customizable, everything from keyboard shortcuts, to painting
|
||||
frames-per-second. See the heavily commented [default config file](kitty/kitty.conf).
|
||||
By default kitty looks for a config file in the OS
|
||||
config directory (usually `~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf` on linux) but you can pass
|
||||
a specific path via the `--config` option.
|
||||
|
||||
Startup Sessions
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can control the tabs, window layout, working directory, startup programs, etc. by creating a
|
||||
"session" file and using the `--session` command line flag. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Set the window layout for the current tab
|
||||
layout tall
|
||||
# Set the working directory for the current tab
|
||||
cd ~
|
||||
# Create a window and run the specified command in it
|
||||
launch zsh
|
||||
launch vim
|
||||
launch irssi --profile x
|
||||
|
||||
# Create a new tab (the part after new_tab is the optional tab name which will
|
||||
# be displayed in the tab bar, if ommitted, the title of the active window will
|
||||
# be used instead)
|
||||
new_tab my tab
|
||||
cd ~/somewhere
|
||||
# Set the layouts allowed in this tab
|
||||
enabled_layouts tall, stack
|
||||
layout stack
|
||||
launch zsh
|
||||
# Make the current window the active (focused) window
|
||||
focus
|
||||
launch emacs
|
||||
```
