OpenGL hardware accelerated terminal that is SIGNIFICANTLY, IMPORTANTLY much faster than gnome-terminal on abtdev1 via SPICE.
Config
All config (colors, keyboard, much more...) is here, "self-documented":
development/config/common/home/m/.config/kitty/kitty.conf
ssh terminfo
When ssh'ing to a new machine, it will not "know" kitty by default.
When you can use ssh directly, use a kitten:
kitty +kitten ssh newplace
Or, to teach an ubuntu machine about it:
sudo apt install kitty-terminfo
Or, go manual by following this.
infocmp -a xterm-kitty | ssh myserver tic -x -o \~/.terminfo /dev/stdin
Now LOG OUT, log back in, and enjoy the speed of kitty.
Colors
Right now there are two solarized color blocks in the config, one for dark one for light. Red needs some work!
To vet that they look good you can use:
colortest-16
Emacs seems to blow out its own shitty colors, eg for ruby comments in RED and quit-without-save warnings in BLUE. Deal with it for now.
Install
- For now, I just install via ubuntu apt
sudo apt install kitty
It's an older version, and that sucks, as it is missing things like `kitty +kittens theme`. But latest is baked into Ubuntu 24.04 so maybe I go with that soon...
- Add ctrl-shift-t shortcut in i3 config, starting it with correct path and using -1 (so one daemon is used for all shells, nice and fast).
