Better Tabs Kitty

Posted on June 10, 2022 in terminal, tools, kitty

Some time ago, I started using kitty terminal emulator. I used Alacritty for a long time. But Alacritty is meant to be minimalistic in a sense it does not even have concept of having different tabs. The suggestion/solution is to use tmux (or like) to manage different shell instances. And I did that. And learnt a great deal about tmux in the process. I don’t regret it one bit. But sometimes, tmux gets in a way of how terminal based programs look (and behave) when executed inside tmux.

Better Icon for Kitty

Official instructions are here but it did not work for me. I did not understand Drag kitty.icns onto the application icon in the kitty info pane part. I tried dragging the icon, but could not make it work. I gave up. I can live with the default icon. But then I came across the following instructions here. Clear instructions that I can execute from inside kitty 😄 cp /tmp/kitty.icns /Applications/kitty.app/Contents/Resources/kitty.icns rm /var/folders/*/*/*/com.
