This shows the hex value, ``13`` in this case.
3. Use ``\x(hexval)`` in your ``send_text`` command in kitty. So in this example, ``\x13``
I am using tmux and have a problem
--------------------------------------
First, terminal multiplexers are `a bad idea
<https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/391#issuecomment-638320745>`_, do
not use them, if at all possible. kitty contains features that do all of what
tmux does, but better, with the exception of remote persistence (:iss:`391`).
Image display will not work, see `tmux issue
<https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/1391>`_.
If you are using tmux with multiple terminals or you start it under one
terminal and then switch to another and these terminals have different
TERM variables, tmux will break. You will need to restart it as tmux does not
support multiple terminals.
Copying to clipboard via OSC 52 will not work, because tmux does not support
the extended version of that protocol, you will need to add ``no-append`` to
:opt:`clipboard_control` in kitty.conf.
If you use any of the advanced features that kitty has innovated, such as
styled underlines, desktop notifications, extended keyboard support, etc.
they may or may not work, depending on the whims of tmux's maintainer, your
version of tmux, etc.
