== A tribute
While over the decades I am sure many people have contributed to the
development of the terminal emulator space, there is one individual in
particular I would like to thank. link:http://invisible-island.net[Thomas E.
Dickey], the creator of xterm. xterm is the most comprehensive and
feature-rich terminal emulator I have had the pleasure of using. As I worked on
kitty, I ran headlong into more and more gnarly corners of terminal behavior.
On all those occasions, either the excellent documentation at
link:http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html[xterm-ctlseqs] or
investigating the behavior and code of xterm or vttest were invaluable tools to
aid my understanding.
My achievements, if any, in developing kitty would not have been possible without
his prior work and the generous sharing of knowledge accumulated over decades.
Thanks you.
