Log message:
import kitty, a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator
ok rsadowksi@
previous draft was tested by bcallah@ at the time
DESCR:
kitty is designed for power keyboard users. To that end all its controls
work
with the keyboard (although it fully supports mouse interactions as well).
Its
configuration is a simple, human editable, single file for easy
reproducibility
(I like to store configuration in source control).
The code in kitty is designed to be simple, modular and hackable. It is
written
in a mix of C (for performance sensitive parts) and Python (for easy
hackability
of the UI). It does not depend on any large and complex UI toolkit, using
only
OpenGL for rendering everything.
Finally, kitty is designed from the ground up to support all modern terminal
features, such as unicode, true color, bold/italic fonts, text formatting,
etc.
It even extends existing text formatting escape codes, to add support for
features not available elsewhere, such as colored and styled (curly)
underlines.
One of the design goals of kitty is to be easily extensible so that new
features
can be added in the future with relatively little effort.
* Offloads rendering to the GPU for lower system load and buttery smooth
scrolling. Uses threaded rendering to minimize input latency.
* Supports all modern terminal features: graphics (images), unicode,
true-color,
OpenType ligatures, mouse protocol, focus tracking, bracketed paste and
several
new terminal protocol extensions.
* Supports tiling multiple terminal windows side by side in different
layouts
without needing to use an extra program like tmux.
* Can be controlled from scripts or the shell prompt, even over SSH.
* Has a framework for Kittens, small terminal programs that can be used to
extend kitty's functionality. For example, they are used for Unicode input,
Hints and Side-by-side diff.
* Supports startup sessions which allow you to specify the window/tab
layout,
working directories and programs to run on startup.
* Cross-platform: kitty works on Linux and macOS, but because it uses only
OpenGL for rendering, it should be trivial to port to other Unix-like
platforms.
* Allows you to open the scrollback buffer in a separate window using
arbitrary
programs of your choice. This is useful for browsing the history
comfortably in
a pager or editor.
* Has multiple copy/paste buffers, like vim.
