- Offloads rendering to the GPU for lower system load and buttery smooth 11 | scrolling. Uses threaded rendering to minimize input latency. 12 | 13 | - Supports all modern terminal features: graphics (images), unicode, true-color, 14 | OpenType ligatures, mouse protocol, focus tracking, bracketed paste and 15 | several new terminal protocol extensions. 16 | 17 | - Supports tiling multiple terminal windows side by side in different layouts 18 | without needing to use an extra program like tmux. 19 | 20 | - Can be controlled from scripts or the shell prompt, even over SSH. 21 | 22 | - Has a framework for Kittens, small terminal programs that can be used to 23 | extend kitty's functionality. For example, they are used for Unicode input, 24 | Hints and Side-by-side diff. 25 | 26 | - Supports startup sessions which allow you to specify the window/tab layout, 27 | working directories and programs to run on startup. 28 | 29 | - Cross-platform: kitty works on Linux and macOS, but because it uses only 30 | OpenGL for rendering, it should be trivial to port to other Unix-like 31 | platforms. 32 | 33 | - Allows you to open the scrollback buffer in a separate window using arbitrary 34 | programs of your choice. This is useful for browsing the history comfortably 35 | in a pager or editor. 36 | 37 | - Has multiple copy/paste buffers, like vim.
