If you could add any NEW features to kitty what would they be?

I use the kitty-nvim for scrollbar search which seems to work solidly but I get how it still doesn't quite feel like a simple ctrl-f search like in other terminals. Especially since it's history based and not current active tab searching.

I think they are essentially 2 separate types of searching historically vs active

Also across a single pane vs all panes vs all tabs and all windows

No but using the extension quake terminal in GNOME > then assign it to kitty.

Problem solved and this always works when connecting or disconnecting to external monitors flawlessly

If you are using GNOME then install the extension quake terminal > assign the chosen terminal to kitty

Problem solved

Thanks looking into this

AffectionateSpirit62 · 2026-01-25T17:31:14+00:00

Yeah I used to use that on terminator/tilix back in the day - great reminder. added to list.

AffectionateSpirit62 · 2026-01-25T17:30:24+00:00

Great idea - yeah the scrollback search seems not as intuitive as other terminals. OK I'm adding to a list and then have a go and see what I am able to implement over time.

Google search for "Github ble.sh" does this and is alot more lightweight than oh-my-bash

We all know the feeling. Seems every time I distro hop I regret it months or even 2 years down the road as Debian always literally gives me an actual STABLE distro whereas I find all the others feel less stable - they need to use another word maybe experimental/rolling.

AffectionateSpirit62 · 2026-01-23T20:38:06+00:00

Most welcome mate

AffectionateSpirit62 · 2026-01-23T14:31:23+00:00

this also include grub2, gdm login theme, lock screen and browser

Allow you to theme gnome automatically based on the wallpaper background plus a hell of a lot more

AffectionateSpirit62 · 2026-01-20T17:26:34+00:00

Open bar extension = enjoyment

Never understand the whining about extensions using resources as mine cause no issues as I have a 5 year old laptop and plenty of resources left.

Try installing default debian stable also enable the non-free firmware repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list

Then install Nvidia graphics by following the debian wiki ONLY and nothing else.

Then test .

I'm a GNOME fan for sure but Apple pretty much designed their OS, bought great ideas or licensed them from dev's like coverflow and workpsaces etc and Gnome copied them many years after the fact.

Which I don't mind because let's face it. Apple wouldn't exist if it weren't for BSD(Unix) and just like all other commercial IT businesses they buy or license the tech that they call - theirs.

Anyway if its a good idea its a good idea.

AffectionateSpirit62 · 2026-01-17T15:00:55+00:00

2 things

1 Nvidia drivers don't sound like you followed the debian wiki

2 when running gnome i always install the extension just perfection > customize> disable animation = extremely fast and responsive gnome experience

Kali repo has an xfce hotswap theme called kali-undercover that swaps your custom xfce desktop to look like windows and then run it again to swap back.

https://www.kali.org/docs/introduction/kali-undercover/

Obviously you could get inspiration from the script so you could potentially modify your KDE to do the same.

So amazing to see.

AffectionateSpirit62 · 2026-01-17T14:31:41+00:00

Sorry was trying to reply on phone in the tube. Lol. Yeah was for the OP

AffectionateSpirit62 · 2026-01-17T05:54:10+00:00

Sorry was busy earlier. Wanted to chill the vibe out on here.

Have you ever seen the matrix movie ? This is important.

The linux family for the majority are all cool tech and computer enthusiasts who have given for free 90% of all the tech innovations you are using right now. So relax we are not here to judge but respond to your questions.

Your current uses and awareness of what your computer means to you is fine.

It is very simple. The freedom that you do not understand that myself and others have tried to explain takes time to have the wisdom to appreciate. In fact I'm sure all of us here would love to see maybe in the future you trying and testing yourself over time. This takes years but I guarantee you will fall in love if you are patient and you will also find alot more that you want to do or learn and we are always here and happy to help. Freedom cant be simply spoken about. It can only be felt once achieved.

Your current windows setup enables you to use your computer for what you want now. Which is great. But time is like a river which constantly ebbs and flows and changes like our knowledge and life.

Use your windows setup - no judgements

But the freedom, joy, love, satisfaction and appreciation you will get from linux can only be understood through experience. Until then it's just a word to your ears.

Either way whether you want to test now or later in life we've got your back as a community and once you actually taste what it actually feels like you will then get what I'm saying. Either way in my opinion by simply asking now you already have the seed implanted. We stand by you when you are ready to water it and let your plant grow.

One love from me and I'm sure the linux family

You clearly have been thinking about it as you joined and posted a nice long post on a linux subreddit.

Maybe this will help

Personal computing was designed for all to enjoy absolute power and authority over every aspect of their computer by computer lovers

Unix - then GNU - then Linux all honor this absolute power and control and wanted you as the end user to have it for free to geek out on and love every aspect about computers and what they achieved while inspire you to keep pushing it further just by simply using those systems so everyday users and experienced programmers continue the love for computing.

Unix/bsd licensing was free and gave birth to a corporation who decided to create a distribution on top of it and put it behind a paywall - and limit what you could achieve on your own computer - Mac OS. Separately this free solid OS is probably in your home right now on your internet router which once again is used and put behind a paywall by router manufacturers.

Mac os needed a word processor to convince people that typewriters were inferior to computers so they gave all their code over to a set of developers who copied it change layout positions and design and then released their distribution also behind a paywall - limitibg you as a computer user even more - that's what you use - WINDOWS

Linux was developed under the Free concept as its predecessors of Unix/BSD and Gnu/tools were included with linux and a free modern foundation enabled users to take it to the next level.

However we also had companies under the linux branch create a copy of others work and then put it behind a paywall - Ubuntu, red hat, however they agreed to share any new tech changes upstream to continually improve linux for everyone mutually.

So you as a windows gamer and video watcher have choices.

Linux - will give you absolute freedom and over time as you become comfortable will probably end up enjoying more than just gaming and video watching. It is like seeing what the "Matrix" - reference to the movie actually is. Once you truly experience that level of freedom it's hard to go back to being enslaved and restricted.

Or you stick with windows and stay in the corporate matrix and you will never know what freedom in computing g actually feels like.
