License : GPLv3 and zlib and BSD
Description : - 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.
