Kitty terminal emulator

“kitty was what got me off Terminal.app and I think it's not given enough love around here”

“don't mind waiting a few tens of ms in exchange for kitty's graphics”

“I'm shocked at how fast I can render a big complex 3d environment, in the terminal.”

“kitty was many times faster than Konsole and Ghostty even faster”

“How fun, I'm a big fan of your work and will enjoy learning from this project too.”

“kitty was the only one that covered most of my needs without feeling like it suffers from random quirks”

“Ghostty, Kitty, WezTerm, etc all ship working OSC8 support out of the box.”

“a programmable terminal that does everything I want, GPU rendering, etc.”

“Kitty is really nice and an innovator in a lot of terminal standards.”

“If all you want is clipboard integration over ssh, then, perhaps, kitty terminal might be enough.”

“Its remote clipboard integration works over SSH, including images.”

“Kovid not only consistently innovates in the terminal space, he also helps set standards.”

“Kitty's fine and if you are happy with it there's probably no good reason to switch”

“I have been personally attacked by several people from all of these projects just for asking simple questions”

“I ran `kitten __benchmark__ --render` in rune, the CPU time spent was 1:55”

“that plus Kitty and a stable SSH persistent connection gives 80% of what I was looking for”

“Kitty has the single instance feature and starts instantly with it.”

“I remember feeling the speedup when I went from iTerm2 to kitty”

“A modern terminal emulator like Ghostty or Kitty can render images, even over ssh.”

“Kitty is powerful enough to practically act like a second desktop environment (that is also cross-platform).”

“Kitty just feels faster when rendering editors or TUIs with a lot happening”

“I agree with your side note: plasma+kitty+tmux and a few support scripts”

“Some terminal emulators – e.g., kitty – can show images inline.”

“Kitty is a magnificent piece of software that has radically enhanced the interface between me and my computer.”

“having to kitty-ssh or whatever to set appropriate terminfo otherwise it breaks was really irritating”

“people working to improve terminals with efforts like terminology and kitty are trying to do what they can”

“Someone showed me the kitty terminal emulator a while ago. They made a big deal about how it can display images!”

“there is no way to color plain bold text, which is possible in basically any other emulator”

“Kitty is the best one. It has several features which have proven so useful I wasn't able to stay on anything else for more than a couple of hours”

“Therefore, I still use Kitty, especially for SSH connections.”

“I'm far from a Kitty power user, but it does pretty much everything else I want it to”

“Mostly because it's very customisable, fast, lean, ligatures, separate font for italics, great macro support, and supports automatic tiling panes.”

“I highly recommend making the last program in your .xinitrc be a terminal emulator rather than Emacs”

“I've been using Kitty terminal and they are absolutely comparable in the feature set”

“Kitty does now but I personally find the maintainers behaviour a bit abrasive”

“The horrible kludge in Kitty of embedding pathnames inside VT-100 codes and making the terminal emulator delete the file when done”

“Changing a character's width from wide to narrow after it has already been output is fraught with problems for a terminal.”

“they "support" it by treating the preceding emoji character as being Narrow instead of Wide”

“Once you discover how valuable this is, it becomes a permanent part of your workflow.”

“Others say kitty terminal with the kitty term emacs library is great”
