To get a full list of supported fonts use the `kitty +#: +list-fonts` command. By default they are derived automatically, by +#: the OSes font system. When bold_font or bold_italic_font is set to +#: auto on macOS, the priority of bold fonts is semi-bold, bold, +#: heavy. Setting them manually is useful for font families that have +#: many weight variants like Book, Medium, Thick, etc. For example:: + +#: font_family Operator Mono Book +#: bold_font Operator Mono Medium +#: italic_font Operator Mono Book Italic +#: bold_italic_font Operator Mono Medium Italic + +font_size 14.0 + +#: Font size (in pts) + +force_ltr yes + +#: kitty does not support BIDI (bidirectional text), however, for RTL +#: scripts, words are automatically displayed in RTL. That is to say, +#: in an RTL script, the words "HELLO WORLD" display in kitty as +#: "WORLD HELLO", and if you try to select a substring of an RTL- +#: shaped string, you will get the character that would be there had +#: the the string been LTR. For example, assuming the Hebrew word +#: ירושלים, selecting the character that on the screen appears to be ם +#: actually writes into the selection buffer the character י. kitty's +#: default behavior is useful in conjunction with a filter to reverse +#: the word order, however, if you wish to manipulate RTL glyphs, it +#: can be very challenging to work with, so this option is provided to +#: turn it off. Furthermore, this option can be used with the command +#: line program GNU FriBidi +#: to get BIDI +#: support, because it will force kitty to always treat the text as +#: LTR, which FriBidi expects for terminals. + +# adjust_line_height 0 +# adjust_column_width 0 + +#: Change the size of each character cell kitty renders. You can use +#: either numbers, which are interpreted as pixels or percentages +#: (number followed by %), which are interpreted as percentages of the +#: unmodified values.

You can use either numbers, which are +#: interpreted as pixels or a percentages (number followed by %), +#: which are interpreted as the percentage of the line height.

The +#: default is to always render them. You can tell kitty to not render +#: them when the cursor is over them by using cursor to make editing +#: easier, or have kitty never render them at all by using always, if +#: you don't like them. The ligature strategy can be set per-window +#: either using the kitty remote control facility or by defining +#: shortcuts for it in kitty.conf, for example:: + +#: map alt+1 disable_ligatures_in active always +#: map alt+2 disable_ligatures_in all never +#: map alt+3 disable_ligatures_in tab cursor + +#: Note that this refers to programming ligatures, typically +#: implemented using the calt OpenType feature.

This +#: is useful as some fonts might have features worthwhile in a +#: terminal. For example, Fira Code Retina includes a discretionary +#: feature, zero, which in that font changes the appearance of the +#: zero (0), to make it more easily distinguishable from Ø. Fira Code +#: Retina also includes other discretionary features known as +#: Stylistic Sets which have the tags ss01 through ss20. + +#: For the exact syntax to use for individual features, see the +#: Harfbuzz documentation . + +#: Note that this code is indexed by PostScript name, and not the font +#: family. This allows you to define very precise feature settings; +#: e.g. you can disable a feature in the italic font but not in the +#: regular font. + +#: On Linux, these are read from the FontConfig database first and +#: then this, setting is applied, so they can be configured in a +#: single, central place. + +#: To get the PostScript name for a font, use kitty +list-fonts +#: --psnames: + +#: .. code-block:: sh + +#: $ kitty +list-fonts --psnames | grep Fira +#: Fira Code +#: Fira Code Bold (FiraCode-Bold) +#: Fira Code Light (FiraCode-Light) +#: Fira Code Medium (FiraCode-Medium) +#: Fira Code Regular (FiraCode-Regular) +#: Fira Code Retina (FiraCode-Retina) + +#: The part in brackets is the PostScript name. + +#: Enable alternate zero and oldstyle numerals:: + +#: font_features FiraCode-Retina +zero +onum + +#: Enable only alternate zero:: + +#: font_features FiraCode-Retina +zero + +#: Disable the normal ligatures, but keep the calt feature which (in +#: this font) breaks up monotony:: + +#: font_features TT2020StyleB-Regular -liga +calt + +#: In conjunction with force_ltr, you may want to disable Arabic +#: shaping entirely, and only look at their isolated forms if they +#: show up in a document. You can do this with e.g.:: + +#: font_features UnifontMedium +isol -medi -fina -init + +# box_drawing_scale 0.001, 1, 1.5, 2 + +#: Change the sizes of the lines used for the box drawing unicode +#: characters These values are in pts.

There must be four values +#: corresponding to thin, normal, thick, and very thick lines. + +#: }}} + +#: Cursor customization {{{ + +# cursor #cccccc + +#: Default cursor color. If set to the special value none the cursor +#: will be rendered with a "reverse video" effect. It's color will be +#: the color of the text in the cell it is over and the text will be +#: rendered with the background color of the cell. Note that if the +#: program running in the terminal sets a cursor color, this takes +#: precedence. Also, the cursor colors are modified if the cell +#: background and foreground colors have very low contrast. + +# cursor_text_color #111111 + +#: Choose the color of text under the cursor. If you want it rendered +#: with the background color of the cell underneath instead, use the +#: special keyword: background. Note that if cursor is set to none +#: then this setting is ignored. + +# cursor_shape block + +#: The cursor shape can be one of (block, beam, underline). Note that +#: when reloading the config this will be changed only if the cursor +#: shape has not been set by the program running in the terminal. This +#: sets the default cursor shape. Applications running in the terminal +#: can override it. In particular, +#: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/shell-integration/ in kitty sets +#: the cursor shape to beam at shell prompts. You can avoid this by +#: setting shell_integration to no-cursor. + +# cursor_beam_thickness 1.5 + +#: Defines the thickness of the beam cursor (in pts) + +# cursor_underline_thickness 2.0 + +#: Defines the thickness of the underline cursor (in pts) + +# cursor_blink_interval -1 + +#: The interval (in seconds) at which to blink the cursor. Set to zero +#: to disable blinking. Negative values mean use system default. Note +#: that numbers smaller than repaint_delay will be limited to +#: repaint_delay. + +# cursor_stop_blinking_after 15.0 + +#: Stop blinking cursor after the specified number of seconds of +#: keyboard inactivity. Set to zero to never stop blinking. + +#: }}} + +#: Scrollback {{{ + +# scrollback_lines 2000 + +#: Number of lines of history to keep in memory for scrolling back. +#: Memory is allocated on demand. Negative numbers are (effectively) +#: infinite scrollback. Note that using very large scrollback is not +#: recommended as it can slow down performance of the terminal and +#: also use large amounts of RAM. Instead, consider using +#: scrollback_pager_history_size. Note that on config reload if this +#: is changed it will only affect newly created windows, not existing +#: ones. + +# scrollback_pager less --chop-long-lines --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS +INPUT_LINE_NUMBER + +#: Program with which to view scrollback in a new window. The +#: scrollback buffer is passed as STDIN to this program. If you change +#: it, make sure the program you use can handle ANSI escape sequences +#: for colors and text formatting. INPUT_LINE_NUMBER in the command +#: line above will be replaced by an integer representing which line +#: should be at the top of the screen. Similarly CURSOR_LINE and +#: CURSOR_COLUMN will be replaced by the current cursor position or +#: set to 0 if there is no cursor, for example, when showing the last +#: command output. + +# scrollback_pager_history_size 0 + +#: Separate scrollback history size, used only for browsing the +#: scrollback buffer (in MB). This separate buffer is not available +#: for interactive scrolling but will be piped to the pager program +#: when viewing scrollback buffer in a separate window. The current +#: implementation stores the data in UTF-8, so approximatively 10000 +#: lines per megabyte at 100 chars per line, for pure ASCII, +#: unformatted text. A value of zero or less disables this feature. +#: The maximum allowed size is 4GB. Note that on config reload if this +#: is changed it will only affect newly created windows, not existing +#: ones. + +# scrollback_fill_enlarged_window no + +#: Fill new space with lines from the scrollback buffer after +#: enlarging a window. + +# wheel_scroll_multiplier 5.0 + +#: Modify the amount scrolled by the mouse wheel. Note this is only +#: used for low precision scrolling devices, not for high precision +#: scrolling on platforms such as macOS and Wayland. Use negative +#: numbers to change scroll direction. See also +#: wheel_scroll_min_lines. + +# wheel_scroll_min_lines 1 + +#: The minimum number of lines scrolled by the mouse wheel. The scroll +#: multiplier only takes effect after it +#: reaches this number. Note that this is only used for low precision +#: scrolling devices like wheel mice that scroll by very small amounts +#: when using the wheel. With a negative number, the minimum number of +#: lines will always be added. + +# touch_scroll_multiplier 1.0 + +#: Modify the amount scrolled by a touchpad. Note this is only used +#: for high precision scrolling devices on platforms such as macOS and +#: Wayland. Use negative numbers to change scroll direction. + +#: }}} + +#: Mouse {{{ + +# mouse_hide_wait 3.0 + +#: Hide mouse cursor after the specified number of seconds of the +#: mouse not being used. Set to zero to disable mouse cursor hiding. +#: Set to a negative value to hide the mouse cursor immediately when +#: typing text. Disabled by default on macOS as getting it to work +#: robustly with the ever-changing sea of bugs that is Cocoa is too +#: much effort. + +# url_color #0087bd +# url_style curly + +#: The color and style for highlighting URLs on mouse-over. url_style +#: can be one of: none, straight, double, curly, dotted, dashed + +# open_url_with default + +#: The program with which to open URLs that are clicked on. The +#: special value default means to use the operating system's default +#: URL handler (open on macOS and xdg-open on Linux). + +# url_prefixes file ftp ftps gemini git gopher http https irc ircs kitty mailto news sftp ssh + +#: The set of URL prefixes to look for when detecting a URL under the +#: mouse cursor. + +# detect_urls yes + +#: Detect URLs under the mouse. Detected URLs are highlighted with an +#: underline and the mouse cursor becomes a hand over them. Even if +#: this option is disabled, URLs are still clickable. + +# url_excluded_characters + +#: Additional characters to be disallowed from URLs, when detecting +#: URLs under the mouse cursor. By default, all characters legal in +#: URLs are allowed. + +# copy_on_select no + +#: Copy to clipboard or a private buffer on select. With this set to +#: clipboard, simply selecting text with the mouse will cause the text +#: to be copied to clipboard. Useful on platforms such as macOS that +#: do not have the concept of primary selections. You can instead +#: specify a name such as a1 to copy to a private kitty buffer +#: instead. Map a shortcut with the paste_from_buffer action to paste +#: from this private buffer. For example:: + +#: map shift+cmd+v paste_from_buffer a1 + +#: Note that copying to the clipboard is a security risk, as all +#: programs, including websites open in your browser can read the +#: contents of the system clipboard. + +# strip_trailing_spaces never + +#: Remove spaces at the end of lines when copying to clipboard. A +#: value of smart will do it when using normal selections, but not +#: rectangle selections. always will always do it. + +# select_by_word_characters @-./_~?&=%+# + +#: Characters considered part of a word when double clicking. In +#: addition to these characters any character that is marked as an +#: alphanumeric character in the unicode database will be matched. + +# click_interval -1.0 + +#: The interval between successive clicks to detect double/triple +#: clicks (in seconds). Negative numbers will use the system default +#: instead, if available, or fallback to 0.5. + +# focus_follows_mouse no + +#: Set the active window to the window under the mouse when moving the +#: mouse around + +# pointer_shape_when_grabbed arrow + +#: The shape of the mouse pointer when the program running in the +#: terminal grabs the mouse. Valid values are: arrow, beam and hand + +# default_pointer_shape beam + +#: The default shape of the mouse pointer. Valid values are: arrow, +#: beam and hand + +# pointer_shape_when_dragging beam + +#: The default shape of the mouse pointer when dragging across text. +#: Valid values are: arrow, beam and hand + +#: Mouse actions {{{ + +#: Mouse buttons can be remapped to perform arbitrary actions. The +#: syntax for doing so is: + +#: .. code-block:: none + +#: mouse_map button-name event-type modes action + +#: Where ``button-name`` is one of ``left``, ``middle``, ``right`` or +#: ``b1 ... b8`` with added keyboard modifiers, for example: +#: ``ctrl+shift+left`` refers to holding the ctrl+shift keys while +#: clicking with the left mouse button. The number ``b1 ... b8`` can +#: be used to refer to upto eight buttons on a mouse. + +#: ``event-type`` is one ``press``, ``release``, ``doublepress``, +#: ``triplepress``, ``click`` and ``doubleclick``. ``modes`` +#: indicates whether the action is performed when the mouse is grabbed +#: by the program running in the terminal, or not. It can have one or +#: more or the values, ``grabbed,ungrabbed``. ``grabbed`` refers to +#: when the program running in the terminal has requested mouse +#: events. Note that the click and double click events have a delay of +#: click_interval to disambiguate from double and triple presses. + +#: You can run kitty with the kitty --debug-input command line option +#: to see mouse events. See the builtin actions below to get a sense +#: of what is possible. + +#: If you want to unmap an action map it to ``no-op``. For example, to +#: disable opening of URLs with a plain click:: + +#: mouse_map left click ungrabbed no-op + +#: .. note:: +#: Once a selection is started, releasing the button that started it will +#: automatically end it and no release event will be dispatched. + +# clear_all_mouse_actions no + +#: You can have kitty remove all mouse actions seen up to this point. +#: Useful, for instance, to remove the default mouse actions. + +#: Click the link under the mouse or move the cursor + +# mouse_map left click ungrabbed mouse_handle_click selection link prompt + +#:: First check for a selection and if one exists do nothing. Then +#:: check for a link under the mouse cursor and if one exists, click +#:: it.

Decreasing it, +#: increases frames-per-second (FPS) at the cost of more CPU usage. +#: The default value yields ~100 FPS which is more than sufficient for +#: most uses. Note that to actually achieve 100 FPS you have to either +#: set sync_to_monitor to no or use a monitor with a high refresh +#: rate. Also, to minimize latency when there is pending input to be +#: processed, repaint_delay is ignored. + +# input_delay 3 + +#: Delay (in milliseconds) before input from the program running in +#: the terminal is processed. Note that decreasing it will increase +#: responsiveness, but also increase CPU usage and might cause flicker +#: in full screen programs that redraw the entire screen on each loop, +#: because kitty is so fast that partial screen updates will be drawn. + +# sync_to_monitor yes + +#: Sync screen updates to the refresh rate of the monitor. This +#: prevents tearing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing) +#: when scrolling. However, it limits the rendering speed to the +#: refresh rate of your monitor. With a very high speed mouse/high +#: keyboard repeat rate, you may notice some slight input latency.

Note that borders are displayed only when more than one +#: window is visible. They are meant to separate multiple windows. + +# draw_minimal_borders yes + +#: Draw only the minimum borders needed. This means that only the +#: minimum needed borders for inactive windows are drawn. That is only +#: the borders that separate the inactive window from a neighbor. Note +#: that setting a non-zero window margin overrides this and causes all +#: borders to be drawn. + +# window_margin_width 0 + +#: The window margin (in pts) (blank area outside the border).
