== Why does this work only in kitty?
The diff kitten makes use of various features that are kitty only, such as the
kitty graphics protocol, the extended keyboard protocol, etc. It also leverages
terminal program infrastructure I created for all of kitty's other kittens to
reduce the amount of code needed (the entire implementation is under 2000 lines
of code).
And fundamentally, it's kitty only because I wrote it for myself, and I am
highly unlikely to use any other terminals :)
