Fuck this project for stealing the name from KiTTy, a PuTTy fork. Years ago it was brought to the devs attention and he doubled down on the name. The way they handled it deserves no respect.
Yeah he really didn’t handle it well
Edit: Here’s a link to the thread.

Cool, but now SSH into a remote server and then try to open nano. It doesn’t.
After using it for 3 weeks I concluded that as Kitty breaks the fundamentals all the nice shiny isn’t worth it.
alias ss=kitty +kitten ssh
Just install terminfo.
It is intended behavior, almost every terminal requires terminfo. It is just that terminfo for most popular (or older) ones comes preinstalled.
All new niche terminal suffer from it. Foot has the same problem.
Or override the TERM variable in your ssh config. Setting it to an xterm value has been supported by any niche term I’ve used over the years without sacrificing any of the usual functions.
use the ssh kitten at least once and it will install the terminfo for you
I have literally never had any issue with Kitty on any of my servers or local machines
Sorry, no, don’t want that in a terminal.
Seems outside of what one would expect from a terminal. There’s dedicated app to handle this task.
That’s good stuff right there.
Neat
I especially like the casual swipe at GNOME, they deserve it!
