|
|
|

|
|
for details. Packagers please read :ref:`packagers`.
|

|
|
logo in the corner of a kitty window (:pull:`4167`)

|
|
``SGR_PIXEL_PROTOCOL`` introduced in xterm 359

|
|
|

|
|
the request by default instead of denying by default. See

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Fix :option:`kitty --title` not overriding the OS Window title when multiple

|
|
--program` option work when using the ``self``

copies (up to 8MB) without needing a kitty specific chunking protocol.

|
advantage of working with all terminal emulators.

|
|
(:iss:`3844`)
|
|
|
|
- hints kitten: Detect paths and hashes that appear over multiple lines.
|
|
Note that this means that all line breaks in the text are no longer \n

|
|
used by full screen terminal programs and even games, see
|
|
:doc:`keyboard-protocol` (:iss:`3248`)
|
|
|
|
- **Backward incompatibility**: Session files now use the full :doc:`launch <launch>`
|
|
command with all its capabilities. However, the syntax of the command is
|
|
slightly different from before. In particular watchers are now specified
|
|
directly on launch and environment variables are set using ``--env``.
|
|
|
|
- Allow setting colors when creating windows using the :doc:`launch <launch>` command.
|
|
|
|

|
|
bar when using the powerline tab bar style.

|
|
- diff kitten: Implement recursive diff over SSH (:iss:`3268`)

|
|
acknowledgement and decided to use incompatible escape codes for.
|
|
|
|
- Add entries to the terminfo file for some user capabilities that are shared
|
|
with XTerm (:pull:`3193`)
|
|
|
|
- The launch command now does more sophisticated resolving of executables to
|
|
run. The system-wide PATH is used first, then system specific default paths,
|
|
and finally the PATH inside the shell.
|
|
|
|
- Double clicking on empty tab bar area now opens a new tab (:iss:`3201`)
|
|
|
|
- kitty @ ls: Show only environment variables that are different for each
|
|
window, by default.

|
|
being colored with some fonts (:iss:`3211`)

|
|
|
|
- Also detect ``gemini://`` URLs when hovering with the mouse (:iss:`3370`)
|
|

- When using a non-US keyboard layout and pressing :kbd:`ctrl+key` when
|
|
the key matches an English key, send that to the program running in the
|
|
terminal automatically (:iss:`2000`)
|
|
|
|
- When matching shortcuts, also match on shifted keys, so a shortcut defined as
|

|
|
- Fix rendering of ligatures in the latest release of Cascadia code, which for
|
|
some reason puts empty glyphs after the ligature glyph rather than before it
|
|
(:iss:`3313`)
|
|
|
|
- Improve handling of infinite length ligatures in newer versions of FiraCode
|
|
and CascadiaCode. Now such ligatures are detected based on glyph naming
|
|
convention. This removes the gap in the ligatures at cell boundaries (:iss:`2695`)
|
|
|
|
- macOS: Disable the native operating system tabs as they are non-functional
|
|

|
|
buffer when piping it as plain text (:iss:`3132`)
|
|
|
|

|
|
interoperability. This means that doing a DECRC without a prior DECSC is now

- macOS: Fix a character that cannot be rendered in any font causing
|
|
font fallback for all subsequent characters that cannot be rendered in the
|
|
main font to fail (:iss:`799`)
|
|
|
|
- Linux: Do not enable IME input via ibus unless the ``GLFW_IM_MODULE=ibus``
|
|
environment variable is set. IME causes key processing latency and even

0.12.0 [2018-09-01]
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Preserve the mouse selection even when the contents of the screen are
|
|
scrolled or overwritten provided the new text does not intersect the
|
|
selected lines.
|
|
|
|
- Linux: Implement support for Input Method Extensions (multilingual input
|
|
using standard keyboards) via `IBus
|
|
<https://github.com/ibus/ibus/wiki/ReadMe>`_ (:iss:`469`)
|
|
|
|
- Implement completion for the kitty command in bash and zsh. See
|
|
:ref:`shell_integration`.
|
|
|
|
- Render the text under the cursor in a fixed color, configurable via
|
|
the option :opt:`cursor_text_color` (:iss:`126`)
|
|
|
|
- Add an option :opt:`env` to set environment variables in child processes
|
|
from kitty.conf
|
|
|
|
- Add an action to the ``clear_terminal`` function to scroll the screen
|
|
contents into the scrollback buffer (:iss:`1113`)
|
|
|
|
- Implement high precision scrolling with the trackpad on platforms such as
|
|
macOS and Wayland that implement it. (:pull:`819`)
|
|
|
|
- macOS: Allow scrolling window contents using mouse wheel/trackpad even when the
|
|
window is not the active window (:iss:`729`)
|
|
|
|
- Remote control: Allow changing the current window layout with a new
|
|
:ref:`at_goto-layout` command (:iss:`845`)
|
|
|
|
- Remote control: Allow matching windows by the environment variables of their
|
|
child process as well
|
|
|
|
- Allow running kittens via the remote control system (:iss:`738`)
|
|
|
|
- Allow enabling remote control in only some kitty windows
|
|
|
|
- Add a keyboard shortcut to reset the terminal (:sc:`reset_terminal`). It
|
|
takes parameters so you can define your own shortcuts to clear the
|
|
screen/scrollback also (:iss:`747`)
|
|
|
|
- Fix one-pixel line appearing at window edges at some window sizes when
|
|
displaying images with background opacity enabled (:iss:`741`)
|
|
|
|
- diff kitten: Fix error when right hand side file is binary and left hand side
|
|
file is text (:pull:`752`)
|
|
|
|
- kitty @ new-window: Add a new option :option:`kitty @ new-window --window-type`
|
|
to create top-level OS windows (:iss:`770`)
|
|
|
|
- macOS: The :opt:`focus_follows_mouse` option now also works across top-level kitty OS windows
|
|
(:iss:`754`)
|
|
|
|
- Fix detection of URLs in HTML source code (URLs inside quotes) (:iss:`785`)
|
|
|
|
- Implement support for emoji skin tone modifiers (:iss:`787`)
|
|
|
|
- Round-trip the zwj unicode character. Rendering of sequences containing zwj
|
|
is still not implemented, since it can cause the collapse of an unbounded
|
|
number of characters into a single cell. However, kitty at least preserves
|
|
the zwj by storing it as a combining character.
|
|
|
|
- macOS: Disable the custom mouse cursor. Using a custom cursor fails on dual
|
|
GPU machines. I give up, Apple users will just have to live with the
|
|
limitations of their choice of OS. (:iss:`794`)
|
|
|
|
- macOS: Fix control+tab key combination not working (:iss:`801`)
|
|
|
|
- Linux: Fix slow startup on some systems caused by GLFW searching for
|
|
joysticks. Since kitty does not use joysticks, disable joystick support.
|
|
(:iss:`830`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.11.3 [2018-07-10]
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Draw only the minimum borders needed for inactive windows. That is only the borders
|
|
that separate the inactive window from a neighbor. Note that setting
|
|
a non-zero window margin overrides this and causes all borders to be drawn.
|
|
The old behavior of drawing all borders can be restored via the
|
|
:opt:`draw_minimal_borders` setting in kitty.conf. (:iss:`699`)
|
|
|
|
- macOS: Add an option :opt:`macos_window_resizable` to control if kitty
|
|
top-level windows are resizable using the mouse or not (:iss:`698`)

|
|

|
|
|
|
- macOS: Workaround for switching from fullscreen to windowed mode with the
|
|
titlebar hidden causing window resizing to not work. (:iss:`711`)
|
|
|
|
- Fix triple-click to select line not working when the entire line is filled
|
|
(:iss:`703`)
|
|
|
|
- When dragging to select with the mouse "grab" the mouse so that if it strays
|
|
into neighboring windows, the selection is still updated (:pull:`624`)
|
|
|
|
- When clicking in the margin/border area of a window, map the click to the
|
|
nearest cell in the window. Avoids selection with the mouse failing when
|
|
starting the selection just outside the window.
|
|
|
|
- When drag-scrolling stop the scroll when the mouse button is released.
|
|
|
|
- Fix a regression in the previous release that caused pasting large amounts
|
|
of text to be duplicated (:iss:`709`)
|

user migrates their kitty cache directory between systems with incompatible
|
|
readline implementations.

|
|
- macOS: Fix an error in remote control when using --listen-on (:iss:`679`)

multiple items (:iss:`687`)
|
|
|

|
|
when only a single window is visible in the layout (:iss:`688`)
|
|
|
|
- Add a :option:`kitty --hold` command line option to stay open after the child process exits (:iss:`667`)
|
|
|
|
- diff kitten: When triggering a search scroll to the first match automatically
|
|
|
|
- :option:`kitty --debug-font-fallback` also prints out what basic fonts were matched
|
|
|
|
- When closing a kitty window reset the mouse cursor to its default shape and ensure it is visible (:iss:`655`).
|

|
|
|
|
- Support "-T" as an alias for "--title" (:pull:`659`)
|
|
|
|
- Fix a regression in the previous release that broke using
|
|
``--debug-config`` with custom key mappings (:iss:`695`)
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
window before quitting (:iss:`630`)
|
|
|
|
- diff kitten: Allow theming the selection background/foreground as well

|
- diff kitten: Fix default foreground/background colors not being restored when
|
|
kitten quits (:iss:`637`)

|
|
|
- A new tab bar style "fade" in which each tab's edges fade into the background.
|
|
See :opt:`tab_bar_style` and :opt:`tab_fade` for details. The old look can be
|
|
restored by setting :opt:`tab_bar_style` to :code:`separator`.

|
|

|
|
for convenience. (:pull:`591`)

There is a new option (:opt:`macos_quit_when_last_window_closed`) to control
|
|
this.

|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- A diff kitten to show side-by-side diffs with syntax highlighting and support
|
|

|
|
so that URLs that stretch over multiple lines are detected. Also improve
|
|
detection of surrounding brackets/quotes.
|
|
|
|
- Make the kitty window id available as the environment variable
|
|
``KITTY_WINDOW_ID`` (:iss:`532`).

oriented.
|
|
|
|
- Expand environment variables in config file include directives
|
|
|
|

|
|
terminals, search for `OSC 52 clipboard` to find out more about using it.
|
|
|
|
- Fix moving cursor outside a defined page area incorrectly causing the cursor
|
|
to be placed inside the page area. Caused incorrect rendering in neovim, in
|
|
some situations (:iss:`542`).
|
|
|

- Render a couple more powerline symbols directly, bypassing the font
|
|
(:iss:`550`).
|
|
|
|
- Fix ctrl+alt+<special> not working in normal and application keyboard (:iss:`548`).
|
|
|
|
- Partial fix for rendering Right-to-left languages like Arabic. Rendering of
|
|
Arabic is never going to be perfect, but now it is at least readable.
|
|
|
|
- Fix Ctrl+backspace acting as plain backspace in normal and application
|
|
keyboard modes (:iss:`538`).
|

|
that do not have a primary selection such as Wayland and macOS
|
|
(:iss:`529`)
|

|
|
- Fix cursor_stop_blinking_after=0 not working (:iss:`530`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.9.1 [2018-05-05]
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Show a bell symbol on the tab if a bell occurs in one of the windows in the tab and
|
|
the window is not the currently focused window
|
|
|
|
- Change the window border color if a bell occurs in an unfocused window. Can
|
|
be disabled by setting the bell_border_color to be the same as the
|
|
inactive_border_color.
|
|
|
|
- macOS: Add support for dead keys
|
|
|
|
- Unicode input: When searching by name search for prefix matches as well as
|
|
whole word matches
|
|
|
|
- Dynamically allocate the memory used for the scrollback history buffer.
|
|
Reduces startup memory consumption when using very large scrollback
|
|
buffer sizes.
|
|
|
|
- Add an option to not request window attention on bell.
|
|
|
|
- Remote control: Allow matching windows by number (visible position).
|
|
|
|
- macOS: Fix changing tab title and kitty shell not working
|
|
|
|
- When triple-clicking select all wrapped lines belonging to a single logical line.
|
|
|
|
- hints kitten: Detect bracketed URLs and don't include the closing bracket in the URL.
|
|
|
|
- When calling pass_selection_to_program use the current directory of the child
|
|
process as the cwd of the program.
|
|
|
|
- Add macos_hide_from_tasks option to hide kitty from the macOS task switcher
|
|
|
|
- macOS: When the macos_titlebar_color is set to background change the titlebar
|
|
colors to match the current background color of the active kitty window
|
|
|
|
- Add a setting to clear all shortcuts defined up to that point in the config
|
|
file(s)
|
|
|
|
- Add a setting (kitty_mod) to change the modifier used by all the default
|
|
kitty shortcuts, globally
|
|
|
|
- Fix Shift+function key not working
|
|
|
|
- Support the F13 to F25 function keys
|
|
|
|
- Don't fail to start if the user deletes the hintstyle key from their
|
|
fontconfig configuration.
|
|
|
|
- When rendering a private use unicode codepoint and a space as a two cell
|
|
ligature, set the foreground colors of the space cell to match the colors of
|
|
the first cell. Works around applications like powerline that use different
|
|
colors for the two cells.
|
|
|
|
- Fix passing @text to other programs such as when viewing the scrollback
|
|
buffer not working correctly if kitty is itself scrolled up.
|
|
|
|
- Fix window focus gained/lost events not being reported to child programs when
|
|
switching windows/tabs using the various keyboard shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
- Fix tab title not changing to reflect the window title when switching between different windows in a tab
|
|
|
|
- Ignore -e if it is specified on the command line. This is for compatibility
|
|
with broken software that assumes terminals should run with an -e option to
|
|
execute commands instead of just passing the commands as arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.9.0 [2018-04-15]
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- A new kitty command shell to allow controlling kitty via commands. Press
|
|
`ctrl+shift+escape` to run the shell.
|
|
|
|
- The hints kitten has become much more powerful. Now in addition to URLs you
|
|
can use it to select word, paths, filenames, lines, etc. from the screen.
|
|
These can be inserted into the terminal, copied to clipboard or sent to
|
|
external programs.
|
|
|
|
- Linux: Switch to libxkbcommon for keyboard handling. It allows kitty to
|
|
support XCompose and dead keys and also react to keyboard remapping/layout
|
|
change without needing a restart.
|
|
|
|
- Add support for multiple-key-sequence shortcuts
|
|
|
|
- A new remote control command `set-colors` to change the current and/or
|
|
configured colors.
|
|
|
|

|
|
next/prev line as well.
|
|
|
|
- Add an `include` directive for the config files to read multiple config files
|
|
|
|
- Improve mouse selection for windows with padding. Moving the mouse into the
|
|
padding area now acts as if the mouse is over the nearest cell.
|
|
|
|
- Allow setting all 256 terminal colors in the config file
|
|
|
|
- Fix using `kitty --single-instance` to open a new window in a running kitty
|
|
instance, not respecting the `--directory` flag
|
|
|
|
- URL hints: Exclude trailing punctuation from URLs
|
|
|
|
- URL hints: Launch the browser from the kitty parent process rather than the
|
|
hints kitten. Fixes launching on some systems where xdg-open doesn't like
|
|
being run from a kitten.
|
|
|
|
- Allow using rectangle select mode by pressing shift in addition to the
|
|
rectangle select modifiers even when the terminal program has grabbed the
|
|
mouse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.8.4 [2018-03-31]
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Fix presence of XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and absence of XDG_CONFIG_HOME preventing
|
|
kitty from starting
|
|
|
|
- Revert change in last release to cell width calculation. Instead just clip
|
|
the right edges of characters that overflow the cell by at most two pixels
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.8.3 [2018-03-29]
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|

|
|
code
|

0.8.0 [2018-02-24]
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
- A framework for kittens, that is, small terminal programs designed to run
|
|
inside kitty and extend its capabilities. Examples include unicode input and
|
|
selecting URLs with the keyboard.
|
|
|
|
- Input arbitrary unicode characters by pressing Ctrl+Shift+u. You can choose
|
|
characters by name, by hex code, by recently used, etc. There is even and
|
|
editable Favorites list.
|
|
|
|
- Open URLs using only the keyboard. kitty has a new "hints mode". Press
|
|
Ctrl+Shift+e and all detected URLs on the screen are highlighted with a key

|
|
|
- Fix a regression that caused a few ligature glyphs to not render correctly in
|
|
rare circumstances.
|
|
|
|
- Browsing the scrollback buffer now happens in an overlay window instead of a

|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Support background transparency via the background_opacity option. Provided

|
|
render pixels that have only the default background color as
|
|
semi-transparent.
|
|
|
|
- Support multiple top level (OS) windows. These windows all share the sprite
|
|
texture cache on the GPU, further reducing overall resource usage. Use
|
|
the shortcut `ctrl+shift+n` to open a new top-level window.
|
|
|
|
- Add support for a *daemon* mode using the `--single-instance` command line
|
|
option. With this option you can have only a single kitty instance running.
|
|
All future invocations simply open new top-level windows in the existing
|
|
instance.

0.5.0 [2017-11-19]
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Add support for ligature fonts such as Fira Code, Hasklig, etc. kitty now
|
|
uses harfbuzz for text shaping which allow it to support advanced OpenType
|
|
features such as contextual alternates/ligatures/combining glyphs/etc.
|
|
|
|
- Make it easy to select fonts by allowing listing of monospace fonts using:
|
|
kitty list-fonts
|
|
|
|
- Add an option to have window focus follow mouse
|
|
|
|
- Add a keyboard shortcut (ctrl+shift+f11) to toggle fullscreen mode
|
|
|

|
|
Linux. There is an option to make it type unicode characters instead.

|
|
now inform the window manager when its startup is complete.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Fix crash when displaying more than 64 images in the same session

- Fix mouse interaction not working in apps using obsolete mouse interaction
|
|
protocols
|
|
|
|
- Linux: no longer require glew as a dependency

|
0.4.2 [2017-10-23]
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Fix a regression in 0.4.0 that broke custom key mappings
|
|
|
|
- Fix a regression in 0.4.0 that broke support for non-QWERTY keyboard layouts
|
|
|
|
- Avoid using threads to reap zombie child processes. Also prevent kitty from
|
|
hanging if the open program hangs when clicking on a URL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.4.0 [2017-10-22]
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Support for drawing arbitrary raster graphics (images) in the terminal via a
|
|
new graphics protocol. kitty can draw images with full 32-bit color using both
|
|
ssh connections and files/shared memory (when available) for better
|
|
performance. The drawing primitives support alpha blending and z-index.
|
|
Images can be drawn both above and below text. See :doc:`graphics-protocol`.
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
- Refactor kitty's internals to make it even faster and more efficient. The CPU
|
|
usage of kitty + X server while doing intensive tasks such as scrolling a
|
|
file continuously in less has been reduced by 50%. There are now two
|
|
configuration options ``repaint_delay`` and ``input_delay`` you can use to
|
|
fine tune kitty's performance vs CPU usage profile. The CPU usage of kitty +
|
|
X when scrolling in less is now significantly better than most (all?) other
|
|
terminals. See :doc:`performance`.
|
|
|
|
- Hovering over URLs with the mouse now underlines them to indicate they
|
|
can be clicked. Hold down Ctrl+Shift while clicking to open the URL.
|
|
|
|
- Selection using the mouse is now more intelligent. It does not add
|
|
blank cells (i.e. cells that have no content) after the end of text in a
|
|
line to the selection.
|
|
|
|
- The block cursor in now fully opaque but renders the character under it in
|
|
the background color, for enhanced visibility.
|
|
|
|
- Allow combining multiple independent actions into a single shortcut
|
|
|
|
- Add a new shortcut to pass the current selection to an external program
|
|
|
|
- Allow creating shortcuts to open new windows running arbitrary commands. You
|
|
can also pass the current selection to the command as an arguments and the
|
|
contents of the screen + scrollback buffer as stdin to the command.
|
