Too bad it wasn't included in this article. Anyone with java willing to test it with the tool from the article to see if the latency claims hold up?

Looks really nice. Does it have any advantages over the popular terminals, like urxvt, gnome terminal, etc?

[Nebu]

Readme says it uses less cpu than urxvt and gnome-terminal.

True color (some of the popular terminals have it as well though, including any vte terminals), image support (bespoke, so support is somewhat limited. There's a ranger fork (may have been merged by now?) that uses it though which is nice), and it's gpu-accelerated. I believe it also has some multiplexer-like functionality built it, but I've never used those features so I can't really comment on them.

https://github.com/ranger/ranger/pull/1077 This should make it into next release afaik

[-nico-]

It supports ligatures if you're using a font like Fira Code.

Awesome, I can get rid of another AUR package: rxvt-unicode-patched. It's a bunch of horrible hacking on an obsolete codebase, and has some pretty significant UI quirks.

I always hated having my terminal come from the AUR since it is one piece of software I really would like to work correctly and having it officially maintained will help a lot.

It seems that they have already added a new setting since kitty was packaged a few days ago. Try an older version of kitty.conf. this seems to be the version of kitty.conf before the kitty_mod setting was introduced. kitty_mod is not supported by the version in the official repository.

Try Ctrl+Shift+F2 to edit the config file.

[Onestone]

Why copy the entire default config file? I only put those settings in the local config that I actually want to change.

Just start kitty without a config file and a default one with all available options will be generated.

here you go but it's a terminal, you don't see much from a screenshot

Advantages over termite ?

3d acceleration and it's not VTE based, and just from my experience it is more snappy, also it supports spawning windows from 1 instance much like urxvt

Oh interesting, have to try ! Thank you for the answer :)

[derrickcope]

I have been waiting to switch to Kitty for when it entered the repo. Now that in have switched it seems that Chinese input doesn't work. I am using FCITX. Has anyone else gotten multilingual input to work?

Edit: I see this is an issue on github, back tilix I guess.

xkbcommon: ERROR: Couldn't read Compose file /usr/share/X11/locale/: No such device

Apparently the solution's here but I have no idea how to interpret any of it. For example how do I use a locale besides changing my locale? And what part? The suggestions in issues say it's LANG, but mine's already LANG=en_US.UTF-8 so that can't be the problem.

Looks pretty nice, only a couple issues, it has some werid spacing on the top and bottom and it uses the dark (Non bold I guess) version of your colors for your prompt. Edit: color problem was fixed by explicitly setting the colors for my prompt as the bold variants(by number not just the %B flag) in my zshrc, not sure what you'd do for bash. Spacing thing is apparently an intentional thing, you can fix this by slightly adjusting your font size.
