Hi,
Please find attached a new port of kitty. Kitty is a terminal emulator
for X11. The main distinguishing feature from others in ports is that
it uses OpenGL acceleration. It's written in C11 and python. I've been
using it for a few days without any issues.
Notes about the port:
- configuration: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf.html
- When I ran it a few months ago on radeon (with HD 6870), selecting
text with the mouse didn't work correctly. It would only select a few
characters and not extend the selection beyond that. I'm now running
it on an Intel Coffeelake without any such issues.
- I couldn't get the use of audio/libcanberra via dlopen(3) to work.
Therefore, a patch that reverts it to dynamically linking to the
library is included.
- Otherwise, patches are just dealing with routine stuff - working
around procfs, and disabling hardcoded optimization flags.
ok to import? comments?
Hi,
I am using the port for a few days and I just loved it. Actually
switched from st{,-term} to kitty for my daily routines and it works
pretty good. Hope it will gets into the ports very soon.
Thank you for your work
Cheers,
