kitty.conf
-----------------------
.. highlight:: conf
|kitty| is highly customizable, everything from keyboard shortcuts, to
rendering frames-per-second. See below for an overview of all customization
possibilities.
You can open the config file within kitty by pressing :sc:`edit_config_file`.
You can reload the config file within kitty by pressing
:sc:`reload_config_file` or sending kitty the ``SIGUSR1`` signal. You can also
display the current configuration by pressing the :sc:`debug_config` key.
.. _confloc:
|kitty| looks for a config file in the OS config directories (usually
:file:`~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf`) but you can pass a specific path via the
:option:`kitty --config` option or use the ``KITTY_CONFIG_DIRECTORY``
environment variable. See the :option:`kitty --config` option for full details.
Comments can be added to the config file as lines starting with the ``#``
character. This works only if the ``#`` character is the first character
in the line.
You can include secondary config files via the :code:`include` directive. If
you use a relative path for include, it is resolved with respect to the
location of the current config file. Note that environment variables are
expanded, so :code:`${USER}.conf` becomes :file:`name.conf` if
:code:`USER=name`. For example::
include other.conf
.. note:: Syntax highlighting for :file:`kitty.conf` in vim is available via
`vim-kitty <https://github.com/fladson/vim-kitty>`_.
.. include:: /generated/conf-kitty.rst
Sample kitty.conf
--------------------
.. only:: html
You can download a sample :file:`kitty.conf` file with all default settings and
comments describing each setting by clicking: :download:`sample kitty.conf
</generated/conf/kitty.conf>`.
.. only:: man
You can edit a fully commented sample kitty.conf by pressing the
:sc:`edit_config_file` shortcut in kitty. This will generate a config
file with full documentation and all settings commented out. If you
have a pre-existing kitty.conf, then that will be used instead, delete
it to see the sample file.
All mappable actions
