Documentation for the kitty remote control protocol
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
The kitty remote control protocol is a simple protocol that involves sending
|
|
data to kitty in the form of JSON. Any individual command of kitty has the
|
|
form::
|
|
|
|
<ESC>P@kitty-cmd<JSON object><ESC>\
|
|
|
|
Where ``<ESC>`` is the byte ``0x1b``. The JSON object has the form::
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
'cmd': "command name",
|
|
'version': "kitty version",
|
|
'no_response': Optional Boolean,
|
|
'payload': <Optional JSON object>,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The ``version`` above is a string of the form :code:`0.14.2`. If you are developing a
|
|
standalone client, use the kitty version that you are developing against. Using
|
|
a version greater than the version of the kitty instance you are talking to,
|
|
will cause a failure.
|
|
|
|
Set ``no_response`` to True if you don't want a response from kitty.
|
|
|
|
The optional payload is a JSON object that is specific to the actual command being sent.
|
|
The fields in the object for every command are documented below.
