+                            (clockwise from the top-left)
+========================    =======================
+
+Additionally, you can define shortcuts in :file:`kitty.conf` to focus neighboring
+windows and move windows around (similar to window movement in vim)::
+
+   map ctrl+left neighboring_window left
+   map shift+left move_window right
+   map ctrl+down neighboring_window down
+   map shift+down move_window up
+   ...
+
+You can also define a shortcut to switch to the previously active window::
+
+   map ctrl+p nth_window -1
+
+``nth_window`` will focus the nth window for positive numbers and the
+previously active windows for negative numbers.
+
+.. _detach_window:
+
+You can define shortcuts to detach the current window and
+move it to another tab or another OS window::
+
+    # moves the window into a new OS window
+    map ctrl+f2 detach_window
+    # moves the window into a new Tab
+    map ctrl+f3 detach_window new-tab
+    # moves the window into the previously active tab
+    map ctrl+f3 detach_window tab-prev
+    # moves the window into the tab at the left of the active tab
+    map ctrl+f3 detach_window tab-left
+    # asks which tab to move the window into
+    map ctrl+f4 detach_window ask
+
+Similarly, you can detach the current tab, with::
+
+    # moves the tab into a new OS window
+    map ctrl+f2 detach_tab
+    # asks which OS Window to move the tab into
+    map ctrl+f4 detach_tab ask
+
+Finally, you can define a shortcut to close all windows in a tab other than
+the currently active window::
+
+    map f9 close_other_windows_in_tab
+

+Saving and restoring colors
+==============================
+
+It is often useful for a full screen application with its own color themes to
+set the default foreground, background, selection and cursor colors and the
+ANSI color table. This allows for various performance optimizations when
+drawing the screen. The problem is that if the user previously used the escape
+codes to change these colors herself, then running the full screen application
+will lose her changes even after it exits. To avoid this, kitty introduces a
+new pair of *OSC* escape codes to push and pop the current color values from a
+stack::
+
+    <ESC>]30001<ESC>\  # push onto stack
+    <ESC>]30101<ESC>\  # pop from stack
+
+These escape codes save/restore the colors, default
+background, default foreground, selection background, selection foreground and
+cursor color and the 256 colors of the ANSI color table.
+
+.. note:: In July 2020, after several years, XTerm copied this protocol
+   extension, without acknowledgement, and using incompatible escape codes
+   (XTPUSHCOLORS, XTPOPCOLORS, XTREPORTCOLORS). And they decided to save not
+   just the dynamic colors but the entire ANSI color table. In the interests of
+   promoting interoperability, kitty added support for XTerm's escape codes as
+   well, and changed this extension to also save/restore the entire ANSI color
+   table.

+Setting text styles/colors in arbitrary regions of the screen
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+There already exists an escape code to set *some* text attributes in arbitrary
+regions of the screen, `DECCARA
+<https://vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DECCARA.html>`_.  However, it is limited to
+only a few attributes. |kitty| extends this to work with *all* SGR attributes.
+So, for example, this can be used to set the background color in an arbitrary
+region of the screen.
+
+The motivation for this extension is the various problems with the existing
+solution for erasing to background color, namely the *background color erase
+(bce)* capability. See
+`this discussion <https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/160#issuecomment-346470545>`_
+and `this FAQ <https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#bce_mismatches>`_
+for a summary of problems with *bce*.
+
+For example, to set the background color to blue in a
+rectangular region of the screen from (3, 4) to (10, 11), you use::

+
+
+Desktop notifications
+=======================
+
+|kitty| implements an extensible escape code (OSC 99) to show desktop
+notifications. It is easy to use from shell scripts and fully extensible to
+show title and body.  Clicking on the notification can optionally focus the
+window it came from, and/or send an escape code back to the application running
+in that window.
+
+The design of the escape code is partially based on the discussion in
+the defunct
+`terminal-wg <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/issues/13>`_
+
+The escape code has the form::
+
+    <OSC> 99 ; metadata ; payload <terminator>
+
+Here ``<OSC>`` is :code:`<ESC>]` and ``<terminator>`` is
+:code:`<ESC><backslash>`.  The metadata is a section of colon separated
+:code:`key=value` pairs. Every key must be a single character from the set
+:code:`a-zA-Z` and every value must be a word consisting of characters from
+the set :code:`a-zA-Z0-9-_/\+.,(){}[]*&^%$#@!`~`. The payload must be
+interpreted based on the metadata section. The two semi-colons *must* always be
+present even when no metadata is present.
+
+Before going into details, lets see how one can display a simple, single line
+notification from a shell script::
+
+    printf '\x1b]99;;Hello world\x1b\\'
+
+To show a message with a title and a body::
+
+    printf '\x1b]99;i=1:d=0;Hello world\x1b\\'
+    printf '\x1b]99;i=1:d=1:p=body;This is cool\x1b\\'
+
+The most important key in the metadata is the ``p`` key, it controls how the
+payload is interpreted. A value of ``title`` means the payload is setting the
+title for the notification. A value of ``body`` means it is setting the body,
+and so on, see the table below for full details.
+
+The design of the escape code is fundamentally chunked, this is because
+different terminal emulators have different limits on how large a single escape
+code can be. Chunking is accomplished by the ``i`` and ``d`` keys. The ``i``
+key is the *notification id* which can be any string containing the characters
+``[a-zA-Z0-9_-+.]``. The ``d`` key stands for *done* and
+can only take the values ``0`` and ``1``. A value of ``0`` means the
+notification is not yet done and the terminal emulator should hold off
+displaying it. A value of ``1`` means the notification is done, and should be
+displayed. You can specify the title or body multiple times and the terminal
+emulator will concatenate them, thereby allowing arbitrarily long text
+(terminal emulators are free to impose a sensible limit to avoid
+Denial-of-Service attacks).
+
+Both the ``title`` and ``body`` payloads must be either UTF-8 encoded plain
+text with no embedded escape codes, or UTF-8 text that is base64 encoded, in
+which case there must be an ``e=1`` key in the metadata to indicate the payload
+is base64 encoded.
+
+When the user clicks the notification, a couple of things can happen, the
+terminal emulator can focus the window from which the notification came, and/or
+it can send back an escape code to the application indicating the notification
+was activated. This is controlled by the ``a`` key which takes a comma
+separated set of values, ``report`` and ``focus``. The value ``focus`` means
+focus the window from which the notification was issued and is the default.
+``report`` means send an escape code back to the application. The format of the
+returned escape code is::
+
+    <OSC> 99 ; i=identifier ; <terminator>
+
+The value of ``identifier`` comes from the ``i`` key in the escape code sent by
+the application. If the application sends no identifier, then the terminal
+*must* use ``i=0``. Actions can be preceded by a negative sign to turn them
+off, so for example if you do not want any action, turn off the default
+``focus`` action with::
+
+    a=-focus
+
+Complete specification of all the metadata keys is in the table below. If a
+terminal emulator encounters a key in the metadata it does not understand,
+the key *must* be ignored, to allow for future extensibility of this escape
+code. Similarly if values for known keys are unknown, the terminal emulator
+*should* either ignore the entire escape code or perform a best guess effort
+to display it based on what it does understand.
+
+.. note::
+   It is possible to extend this escape code to allow specifying an icon for
+   the notification, however, given that some platforms, such as macOS, dont
+   allow displaying custom icons on a notification, at all, it was decided to
+   leave it out of the spec for the time being.
+
+   Similarly, features such as scheduled notifications could be added in future
+   revisions.

+
+
+Things behave differently when running kitty from system launcher vs. from another terminal?
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This will be because of environment variables. When you run kitty from the
+system launcher, it gets a default set of system environment variables. When
+you run kitty from another terminal, you are actually running it from a shell,
+and the shell's rc files will have setup a whole different set of environment
+variables which kitty will now inherit.
+
+You need to make sure that the environment variables you define in your shell's
+rc files are either also defined system wide or via the :opt:`env` directive in
+:file:`kitty.conf`. Common environment variables that cause issues are those
+related to localization, such as ``LANG, LC_*`` and loading of configuration
+files such as ``XDG_*, KITTY_CONFIG_DIRECTORY``.
+
+To see the environment variables that kitty sees, you can add the following
+mapping to :file:`kitty.conf`::
+
+    map f1 show_kitty_env_vars
+
+then pressing :kbd:`F1` will show you the environment variables kitty sees.

+This problem is most common on macOS, as Apple makes it exceedingly difficult to
+setup environment variables system-wide, so people end up putting them in all
+sorts of places where they may or may not work.

+--------------------------------------
+
+First, terminal multiplexers are `a bad idea
+<https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/391#issuecomment-638320745>`_, do
+not use them, if at all possible. kitty contains features that do all of what
+tmux does, but better, with the exception of remote persistence (:iss:`391`).
+If you still want to use tmux, read on.
+
+Image display will not work, see `tmux issue
+<https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/1391>`_.
+
+If you are using tmux with multiple terminals or you start it under one
+terminal and then switch to another and these terminals have different TERM
+variables, tmux will break. You will need to restart it as tmux does not
+support multiple terminfo definitions.
+
+If you use any of the advanced features that kitty has innovated, such as
+styled underlines, desktop notifications, extended keyboard support, etc.
+they may or may not work, depending on the whims of tmux's maintainer, your
+version of tmux, etc.
+
+
+I opened and closed a lot of windows/tabs and top shows kitty's memory usage is very high?
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+``top`` is not a good way to measure process memory usage. That is because on
+modern systems, when allocating memory to a process, the C library functions
+will typically allocate memory in large blocks, and give the process chunks of
+these blocks. When the process frees a chunk, the C library will not
+necessarily release the underlying block back to the OS. So even though the
+application has released the memory, ``top`` will still claim the process is
+using it.
+
+To check for memory leaks, instead use a tool like ``valgrind``. Run::
+
+    PYTHONMALLOC=malloc valgrind --tool=massif kitty
+
+Now open lots of tabs/windows, generate lots of output using tools like find/yes
+etc. Then close all but one window. Do some random work for a few seconds in
+that window, maybe run yes or find again. Then quit kitty and run::
+
+    massif-visualizer massif.out.*
+
+You will see the allocations graph goes up when you opened the windows, then
+goes back down when you closed them, indicating there were no memory leaks.
+
+For those interested, you can get a similar profile out of ``valgrind`` as you get
+with ``top`` by adding ``--pages-as-heap=yes`` then you will see that memory
+allocated in malloc is not freed in free. This can be further refined if you
+use `glibc`` as your C library by setting the environment variable
+``MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=64``. This will cause free to actually free memory
+allocated in sizes of more than 64 bytes. With this set, memory usage will
+climb high, then fall when closing windows, but not fall all the way back. The
+remaining used memory can be investigated using valgrind again, and it will
+come from arenas in the GPU drivers and the per thread arenas glibc's malloc
+maintains. These too allocate memory in large blocks and dont release it back
+to the OS immediately.

+
+   layout
+     A *layout* is a system of organizing :term:`kitty windows <window>` in

+   Contains the path to the socket. Avoids needs to use :option:`kitty @ --to` when
+   issuing remote control commands.
+
+
+.. envvar:: KITTY_PIPE_DATA
+
+   Set to data describing the layout of the screen when running child
+   programs using :option:`launch --stdin-source` with the contents of the
+   screen/scrollback piped to them.
+
+
+.. envvar:: KITTY_CHILD_CMDLINE
+
+   Set to the command line of the child process running in the kitty
+   window when calling the notification callback program on terminal bell, see
+   :opt:`command_on_bell`.
+
+
+.. envvar:: KITTY_COMMON_OPTS
+
+   Set with the values of some common kitty options when running

+
+Requesting image ids from the terminal
+-------------------------------------------
+
+If you are writing a program that is going to share the screen with other
+programs and you still want to use image ids, it is not possible to know
+what image ids are free to use. In this case, instead of using the ``i``
+key to specify an image id use the ``I`` key to specify an image number
+instead. These numbers are not unique.
+When creating a new image, even if an existing image has the same number a new
+one is created. And the terminal will reply with the id of the newly created
+image. For example, when creating an image with ``I=13``, the terminal will
+send the response::
+
+    <ESC>_Gi=99,I=13;OK<ESC>\
+
+Here, the value of ``i`` is the id for the newly created image and the value of
+``I`` is the same as was sent in the creation command.
+
+All future commands that refer to images using the image number, such as
+creating placements or deleting images, will act on only the newest image with
+that number. This allows the client program to send a bunch of commands dealing
+with an image by image number without waiting for a response from the terminal
+with the image id. Once such a response is received, the client program should
+use the ``i`` key with the image id for all future communication.
+
+.. note:: Specifying both ``i`` and ``I`` keys in any command is an error. The
+   terminal must reply with an EINVAL error message, unless silenced.

+
+Animation
+-------------------------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 0.20.0
+   Animation support (see :doc:`kittens/query_terminal` to query kitty version)
+
+When designing support for animation, the two main considerations were:
+
+#. There should be a way for both client and terminal driven animations.
+   Since there is unknown and variable latency between client and terminal,
+   especially over SSH, client driven animations are not sufficient.
+
+#. Animations often consist of small changes from one frame to the next, the
+   protocol should thus allow transmitting these deltas for efficiency and
+   performance reasons.
+
+Animation support is added to the protocol by adding two new modes for the
+``a`` (action) key. A ``f`` mode for transmitting frame data and an ``a`` mode
+for controlling the animation of an image. Animation proceeds in two steps,
+first a normal image is created as described earlier. Then animation frames are
+added to the image to make it into an animation. Since every animation is
+associated with a single image, all animation escape codes must specify either
+the ``i`` or ``I`` keys to identify the image being operated on.
+
+
+Transferring animation frame data
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Transferring animation frame data is very similar to
+:ref:`transferring_pixel_data` above. The main difference is that the image
+the frame belongs to must be specified and it is possible to transmit data for
+only part of a frame, declaring the rest of the frame to be filled in by data
+from a previous frame, or left blank. To transfer frame data the ``a=f``
+key must be used in all escape codes.
+
+First, to transfer a simple frame that has data for the full image area, the
+escape codes used are exactly the same as for transferring image data, with the
+addition of: ``a=f,i=<image id>`` or ``a=f,I=<image number>``.
+
+If the frame has data for only a part of the image, you can specify the
+rectangle for it using the ``x, y, s, v`` keys, for example::
+
+    x=10,y=5,s=100,v=200  # A 100x200 rectangle with its top left corner at (10, 5)
+
+Frames are created by composing the transmitted data onto a background canvas.
+This canvas can be either a single color, or the pixels from a previous frame.
+The composition can be of two types, either a simple replacement (``X=1``) key
+or a full alpha blend (the default).
+
+To use a background color for the canvas, specify the ``Y`` key as a 32-bit
+RGBA color. For example::
+
+    Y=4278190335 # 0xff0000ff opaque red
+    Y=16711816   # 0x00ff0088 translucent green (alpha=0.53)
+
+The default background color when none is specified is ``0`` i.e. a black,
+transparent pixel.
+
+To use the data from a previous frame, specify the ``c`` key which is a 1-based
+frame number. Thus ``c=1`` refers to the root frame (the base image data),
+``c=2`` refers to the second frame and so on.
+
+If the frame is composed of multiple rectangular blocks, these can be expressed
+by using the ``r`` key. When specifying the ``r`` key the data for an existing
+frame is edited. The same composition operation as above happens, but now the
+background canvas is the existing frame itself. ``r`` is a 1-based index, so
+``r=1`` is the root frame (base image data), ``r=2`` is the second frame and so
+on.
+
+Finally, while transferring frame data, the frame *gap* can also be specified
+using the ``z`` key. The gap is the number of milliseconds to wait before
+displaying the next frame when the animation is running. A value of ``z=0`` is
+ignored, ``z=positive number`` sets the gap to the specified number of
+milliseconds and ``z=negative number`` creates a *gapless* frame. Gapless
+frames are not displayed to the user since they are instantly skipped over,
+however they can be useful as the base data for subsequent frames. For example,
+for an animation where the background remains the same and a small object or two
+move.
+
+Controlling animations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Clients can control animations by using the ``a=a`` key in the escape code sent
+to the terminal.
+
+The simplest is client driven animations, where the client transmits the frame
+data and then also instructs the terminal to make a particular frame the current
+frame.  To change the current frame, use the ``c`` key::
+
+    <ESC>_Ga=a,i=3,c=7<ESC>\
+
+This will make the seventh frame in the image with id ``3`` the current frame.
+
+However, client driven animations can be sub-optimal, since the latency between
+the client and terminal is unknown and variable especially over the network.
+Also they require the client to remain running for the lifetime of the
+animation, which is not desirable for cat like utilities.
+
+Terminal driven animations are achieved by the client specifying *gaps* (time
+in milliseconds) between frames and instructing the terminal to stop or start
+the animation.
+
+The animation state is controlled by the ``s`` key. ``s=1`` stops the
+animation. ``s=2`` runs the animation, but in *loading* mode, in this mode when
+reaching the last frame, instead of looping, the terminal will wait for the
+arrival of more frames. ``s=3`` runs the animation normally, after the last
+frame, the terminal loops back to the first frame. The number of loops can be
+controlled by the ``v`` key. ``v=0`` is ignored, ``v=1`` is loop infinitely,
+and any other positive number is loop ``number - 1`` times. Note that stopping
+the animation resets the loop counter.
+
+Finally, the *gap* for frames can be set using the ``z`` key. This can be
+specified either when the frame is created as part of the transmit escape code
+or separately using the animation control escape code. The *gap* is the time in
+milliseconds to wait before displaying the next frame in the animation.
+For example::
+
+    <ESC>_Ga=a,i=7,r=3,z=48<ESC>\
+
+This sets the gap for the third frame of the image with id ``7`` to ``48``
+milliseconds. Note that *gapless* frames are not displayed to the user since
+the next frame comes immediately, however they can be useful to store base data
+for subsequent frames, such as in an animation with an object moving against a
+static background.
+
+In particular, the first frame or *root frame* is created with the base image
+data and has no gap, so its gap must be set using this control code.
+
+Composing animation frames
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionadded:: 0.22.0
+   Support for frame composition
+
+Clients can *compose* animation frames, this means that they can compose pixels
+in rectangular regions from one frame onto another frame. This allows for fast
+and low band-width modification of frames.
+
+To achieve this use the ``a=c`` key. The source frame is specified with
+``r=frame number`` and the destination frame as ``c=frame number``. The size of
+the rectangle is specified as ``w=width,h=height`` pixels. If unspecified, the
+full image width and height are used. The offset of the rectangle from the
+top-left corner for the source frame is specified by the ``x,y`` keys and the
+destination frame by the ``X,Y`` keys. The composition operation is specified
+by the ``C`` key with the default being to alpha blend the source rectangle
+onto the destination rectangle. With ``C=1`` it will be a simple replacement
+of pixels. For example::
+
+    <ESC>_Gi=1,r=7,c=9,w=23,h=27,X=4,Y=8,x=1,y=3<ESC>\
+
+Will compose a ``23x27`` rectangle located at ``(4, 8)`` in the ``7th frame``
+onto the rectangle located at ``(1, 3)`` in the ``9th frame``. These will be
+in the image with ``id=1``.
+
+If the frames or the image are not found the terminal emulator must
+respond with `ENOENT`. If the rectangles go out of bounds of the image
+the terminal must respond with `EINVAL`. If the source and destination frames are
+the same and the rectangles overlap, the terminal must respond with `EINVAL`.
+
+
+.. note::
+   In kitty, doing a composition will cause a frame to be *fully rendered*
+   potentially increasing its storage requirements, when the frame was previously
+   stored as a set of operations on other frames. If this happens and there
+   is not enough storage space, kitty will respond with ENOSPC.
+
 
 Image persistence and storage quotas
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-----------------------------------------
 
 In order to avoid *Denial-of-Service* attacks, terminal emulators should have a
 maximum storage quota for image data. It should allow at least a few full
 screen images.  For example the quota in kitty is 320MB per buffer. When adding
 a new image, if the total size exceeds the quota, the terminal emulator should
-delete older images to make space for the new one.
+delete older images to make space for the new one. In kitty, for animations,
+the additional frame data is stored on disk and has a separate, larger quota of
+five times the base quota.

-Design philosophy
--------------------
-
-|kitty| is designed for power keyboard users. To that end all its controls
-work with the keyboard (although it fully supports mouse interactions as
-well). Its configuration is a simple, human editable, single file for
-easy reproducibility (I like to store configuration in source control).
-
-The code in |kitty| is designed to be simple, modular and hackable. It is
-written in a mix of C (for performance sensitive parts) and Python (for
-easy hackability of the UI). It does not depend on any large and complex
-UI toolkit, using only OpenGL for rendering everything.
-
-Finally, |kitty| is designed from the ground up to support all modern
-terminal features, such as unicode, true color, bold/italic fonts, text
-formatting, etc. It even extends existing text formatting escape codes,
-to add support for features not available elsewhere, such as colored and
-styled (curly) underlines. One of the design goals of |kitty| is to be
-easily extensible so that new features can be added in the future with
-relatively little effort.
-
-Tabs and Windows
--------------------
-
-|kitty| is capable of running multiple programs organized into tabs and
-windows. The top level of organization is the *Tab*. Each tab consists
-of one or more *windows*. The windows can be arranged in multiple
-different layouts, like windows are organized in a tiling window
-manager. The keyboard controls (which are all customizable) for tabs and
-windows are:

-========================    =======================
-
-Additionally, you can define shortcuts in :file:`kitty.conf` to focus neighboring

-
-   map ctrl+left neighboring_window left
-   map shift+left move_window right
-   map ctrl+down neighboring_window down
-   map shift+down move_window up
-   ...
-
-You can also define a shortcut to switch to the previously active window::
-
-   map ctrl+p nth_window -1
-
-``nth_window`` will focus the nth window for positive numbers and the
-previously active windows for negative numbers.
-
-.. _detach_window:
-
-You can define shortcuts to detach the current window and

-    map ctrl+f3 detach_window new-tab # moves the window into a new Tab
-    map ctrl+f4 detach_window ask     # asks which tab to move the window into
-
-Similarly, you can detach the current tab, with::
-
-    map ctrl+f2 detach_tab         # moves the tab into a new OS window
-    map ctrl+f4 detach_tab ask     # asks which OS Window to move the tab into

-.. _layouts:
-
-Layouts
-----------
-
-A layout is an arrangement of multiple *windows*. You can create a new window
-using the :sc:`new_window` key combination.
-
-Currently, there are five layouts available,
-
-* **Stack** -- Only a single maximized window is shown at a time
-* **Tall** -- One window is shown full height on the left, the rest of the windows are shown one below the other on the right
-* **Fat** -- One window is shown full width on the top, the rest of the windows are shown side-by-side on the bottom
-* **Grid** -- All windows are shown in a grid
-* **Horizontal** -- All windows are shown side-by-side
-* **Vertical** -- All windows are shown one below the other
-
-You can switch between layouts using the :sc:`next_layout` key combination. You can
-also create shortcuts to select particular layouts, and choose which layouts
-you want to enable/disable, see :ref:`conf-kitty-shortcuts.layout` for examples.
-
-You can resize windows inside layouts. Press :sc:`start_resizing_window` (also :kbd:`⌘+r` on macOS) to
-enter resizing mode and follow the on-screen instructions.  In a given window
-layout only some operations may be possible for a particular window. For
-example, in the Tall layout you can make the first window wider/narrower, but
-not taller/shorter. Note that what you are resizing is actually not a window,
-but a row/column in the layout, all windows in that row/column will be resized.
-
-You can also define shortcuts in :file:`kitty.conf` to make the active window
-wider, narrower, taller, or shorter by mapping to the ``resize_window``
-action, for example::
-
-   map ctrl+left resize_window narrower
-   map ctrl+right resize_window wider
-   map ctrl+up resize_window taller
-   map ctrl+down resize_window shorter 3
-
-The ``resize_window`` action has a second, optional argument to control
-the resizing increment (a positive integer that defaults to 1).
-
-
-Some layouts take options to control their behavior. For example, the ``fat``
-and ``tall`` layouts accept the ``bias`` option to control how the available
-space is split up. To specify the option, in :opt:`kitty.conf <enabled_layouts>` use::
-
-    enabled_layouts tall:bias=70
-
-This will make the tall window occupy ``70%`` of available width. ``bias`` can be
-any number between 10 and 90.
-
-Writing a new layout only requires about a hundred lines of code, so if there
-is some layout you want, take a look at `layout.py
-<https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/blob/master/kitty/layout.py>`_  and submit
-a pull request!
-
-.. _kittens:
-
-Kittens
-------------------
-
-|kitty| has a framework for easily creating terminal programs that make use of
-its advanced features. These programs are called kittens. They are used both
-to add features to |kitty| itself and to create useful standalone programs.
-Some prominent kittens:
-
-:doc:`icat <kittens/icat>`
-    Display images in the terminal
-
-
-:doc:`diff <kittens/diff>`
-    A fast, side-by-side diff for the terminal with syntax highlighting and
-    images
-
-
-:doc:`Unicode Input <kittens/unicode-input>`
-    Easily input arbitrary unicode characters in |kitty| by name or hex code.
-
-
-:doc:`Hints <kittens/hints>`
-    Select and open/paste/insert arbitrary text snippets such as URLs,
-    filenames, words, lines, etc from the terminal screen.
-
-
-:doc:`Panel <kittens/panel>`
-    Draw a GPU accelerated dock panel on your desktop showing the output
-    from an arbitrary terminal program.
-
-:doc:`Clipboard <kittens/clipboard>`
-    Copy/paste to the clipboard from shell scripts, even over SSH.
-
-You can also :doc:`Learn to create your own kittens <kittens/custom>`.
-
-
-Configuring kitty
--------------------
-
-|kitty| is highly configurable, everything from keyboard shortcuts to
-painting frames-per-second. For details and a sample :file:`kitty.conf`,
-see the :doc:`configuration docs <conf>`.
-
-
-Remote control
-------------------
-
-|kitty| has a very powerful system that allows you to control it from the
-:doc:`shell prompt, even over SSH <remote-control>`. You can change colors,
-fonts, open new windows, tabs, set their titles, change window layout, get text
-from one window and send text to another, etc, etc. The possibilities are
-endless. See the :doc:`tutorial <remote-control>` to get started.
-
-.. _sessions:
-
-Startup Sessions
-------------------
-
-You can control the tabs, window layout, working directory, startup programs,
-etc. by creating a "session" file and using the :option:`kitty --session`
-command line flag or the :opt:`startup_session` option in :file:`kitty.conf`.
-For example:
-
-.. code-block:: session
-
-    # Set the window layout for the current tab
-    layout tall
-    # Set the working directory for windows in the current tab
-    cd ~
-    # Create a window and run the specified command in it
-    launch zsh
-    # Create a window with some environment variables set and run
-    # vim in it
-    launch env FOO=BAR vim
-    # Set the title for the next window
-    title Chat with x
-    launch irssi --profile x

-Mouse features
--------------------
-
-* You can hold down :kbd:`ctrl+shift` and click on a URL to open it in a browser.
-* You can double click to select a word and then drag to select more words.
-* You can triple click to select a line and then drag to select more lines.
-* You can right click to extend a previous selection.
-* You can hold down :kbd:`ctrl+alt` and drag with the mouse to select in
-  columns.
-* Selecting text automatically copies it to the primary clipboard (on
-  platforms with a primary clipboard).
-* You can select text with kitty even when a terminal program has grabbed
-  the mouse by holding down the :kbd:`shift` key.
-
-
-Font control
------------------
-
-|kitty| has extremely flexible and powerful font selection features. You can
-specify individual families for the regular, bold, italic and bold+italic
-fonts. You can even specify specific font families for specific ranges of
-unicode characters. This allows precise control over text rendering. It can
-come in handy for applications like powerline, without the need to use patched
-fonts. See the various font related configuration directives in
-:ref:`conf-kitty-fonts`.
-
-
-.. _scrollback:
-
-The scrollback buffer
------------------------
-
-|kitty| supports scrolling back to view history, just like most terminals. You
-can use either keyboard shortcuts or the mouse scroll wheel to do so.  However,
-|kitty| has an extra, neat feature. Sometimes you need to explore the
-scrollback buffer in more detail, maybe search for some text or refer to it
-side-by-side while typing in a follow-up command. |kitty| allows you to do this
-by pressing the :sc:`show_scrollback` key-combination, which will open the
-scrollback buffer in your favorite pager program (which is ``less`` by default).
-Colors and text formatting are preserved. You can explore the scrollback buffer
-comfortably within the pager.
-
-Additionally, you can pipe the contents of the scrollback buffer to an
-arbitrary, command running in a new window, tab or overlay, for example::
-
-   map f1 launch --stdin-source=@screen_scrollback --stdin-add-formatting less +G -R
-
-Would open the scrollback buffer in a new window when you press the :kbd:`F1`
-key. See :sc:`show_scrollback` for details.
-
-If you wish to store very large amounts of scrollback to view using the piping or
-:sc:`show_scrollback` features, you can use the :opt:`scrollback_pager_history_size`
-option.
-
-.. _cpbuf:
-
-Multiple copy/paste buffers
------------------------------
-
-In addition to being able to copy/paste from the system clipboard, in |kitty| you
-can also setup an arbitrary number of copy paste buffers. To do so, simply add
-something like the following to your :file:`kitty.conf`::
-
-   map f1 copy_to_buffer a
-   map f2 paste_from_buffer a
-
-This will allow you to press :kbd:`F1` to copy the current selection to an
-internal buffer named ``a`` and :kbd:`F2` to paste from that buffer. The buffer
-names are arbitrary strings, so you can define as many such buffers as you
-need.

-
-The list of Frequently Asked Questions (*FAQ*) is :doc:`available here <faq>`.
-
-.. _completion:
-
-Completion for kitty
----------------------------------
-
-|kitty| comes with completion for the ``kitty`` command for popular shells.
-
-
-bash
-~~~~~~~~
-
-Add the following to your :file:`~/.bashrc`
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-   source <(kitty + complete setup bash)
-
-Older versions of bash (for example, v3.2) do not support
-process substitution with the source command, in which
-case you can try an alternative:
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-    source /dev/stdin <<<"$(kitty + complete setup bash)"
-
-
-zsh
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-Add the following to your :file:`~/.zshrc`
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-    autoload -Uz compinit
-    compinit
-    # Completion for kitty
-    kitty + complete setup zsh | source /dev/stdin
-
-The important thing above is to make sure the call to |kitty| to load the zsh
-completions happens after the call to :file:`compinit`.
-
-
-fish
-~~~~~~~~
-
-For versions of fish earlier than 3.0.0, add the following to your
-:file:`~/.config/fish/config.fish`. Later versions source completions by default.
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-   kitty + complete setup fish | source

+Comprehensive keyboard handling in terminals
+==============================================
+
+There are various problems with the current state of keyboard handling in
+terminals. They include:
+
+* No way to use modifiers other than ``ctrl`` and ``alt``
+
+* No way to reliably use multiple modifier keys, other than, ``shift+alt`` and
+  ``ctrl+alt``.
+
+* Many of the existing escape codes used to encode these events are ambiguous
+  with different key presses mapping to the same escape code.
+
+* No way to handle different types of keyboard events, such as press, release or repeat
+
+* No reliable way to distinguish single ``Esc`` key presses from the start of a
+  escape sequence. Currently, client programs use fragile timing related hacks
+  for this, leading to bugs, for example:
+  `neovim #2035 <https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/2035>`_.
+
+To solve these issues and others, kitty has created a new keyboard protocol,
+that is backward compatible but allows applications to opt-in to support more
+advanced usages. The protocol is based on initial work in `fixterms
+<http://www.leonerd.org.uk/hacks/fixterms/>`_, however, it corrects various
+issues in that proposal, listed at the :ref:`bottom of this document
+<fixterms_bugs>`. For public discussion of this spec, see :iss:`3248`.
+
+You can see this protocol with all enhancements in action by running::
+
+    kitty +kitten show_key -m kitty
+
+inside the kitty terminal to report key events.
+
+.. versionadded:: 0.20.0
+
+Quickstart
+---------------
+
+If you are an application or library developer just interested in using this
+protocol to make keyboard handling simpler and more robust in your application,
+without too many changes, do the following:
+
+#. Emit the escape code ``CSI > 1 u`` at application startup if using the main
+   screen or when entering alternate screen mode, if using the alternate
+   screen.
+#. All key events will now be sent in only a few forms to your application,
+   that are easy to parse unambiguously.
+#. Emit the escape sequence ``CSI < u`` at application exit if using the main
+   screen or just before leaving alternate screen mode if using the alternate screen,
+   to restore the previously used keyboard mode.
+
+Key events will all be delivered to your application either as plain UTF-8
+text, or using the following escape codes, for those keys that do not produce
+text (``CSI`` is the bytes ``0x1b 0x5b``)::
+
+    CSI number ; modifiers [u~]
+    CSI 1; modifiers [ABCDEFHPQRS]
+    0x0d - for the Enter key
+    0x7f or 0x08 - for Backspace
+    0x09 - for Tab
+
+The ``number`` in the first form above will be either the Unicode codepoint for a
+key, such as ``97`` for the :kbd:`a` key, or one of the numbers from the
+:ref:`functional` table below. The ``modifiers`` optional parameter encodes any
+modifiers pressed for the key event. The encoding is described in the
+:ref:`modifiers` section.
+
+The second form is used for a few functional keys, such as the :kbd:`Home, End,
+Arrow keys and F1-F4`, they are enumerated in the :ref:`functional` table below.
+Note that if no modifiers are present the parameters are omitted entirely
+giving an escape code of the form ``CSI [ABCDEFHPQRS]``.
+
+If you want support for more advanced features such as repeat and release
+events, alternate keys for shortcut matching et cetera, these can be turned on
+using :ref:`progressive_enhancement` as documented in the rest of this
+specification.
+
+An overview
+------------------
+
+Key events are divided into two types, those that produce text and those that
+do not. When a key event produces text, the text is sent directly as UTF-8
+encoded bytes. This is safe as UTF-8 contains no C0 control codes.
+When the key event does not have text, the key event is encoded as an escape code. In
+legacy compatibility mode (the default) this uses legacy escape codes, so old terminal
+applications continue to work. Key events that could not be represented in
+legacy mode are encoded using a ``CSI u`` escape code, that most terminal
+programs should just ignore. For more advanced features, such as release/repeat
+reporting etc., applications can tell the terminal they want this information by
+sending an escape code to :ref:`progressively enhance <progressive_enhancement>` the data reported for
+key events.
+
+The central escape code used to encode key events is::
+
+    CSI unicode-key-code:alternate-key-codes ; modifiers:event-type ; text-as-codepoints u
+
+Spaces in the above definition are present for clarity and should be ignored.
+``CSI`` is the bytes ``0x1b 0x5b``. All parameters are decimal numbers. Fields
+are separated by the semi-colon and sub-fields by the colon. Only the
+``unicode-key-code`` field is mandatory, everything else is optional. The
+escape code is terminated by the ``u`` character (the byte ``0x75``).
+
+
+.. _key_codes:
+
+Key codes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``unicode-key-code`` above is the Unicode codepoint representing the key, as a
+decimal number. For example, the :kbd:`A` key is represented as ``97`` which is
+the unicode code for lowercase ``a``. Note that the codepoint used is *always*
+the lower-case (or more technically, un-shifted) version of the key. If the
+user presses, for example, :kbd:`ctrl+shift+a` the escape code would be ``CSI
+97;modifiers u``. It *must not* be ``CSI 65; modifiers u``.
+
+If *alternate key reporting* is requested by the program running in the
+terminal, the terminal can send two additional Unicode codepoints, the
+*shifted key* and *base layout key*, separated by colons.
+The shifted key is simply the upper-case version of ``unicode-codepoint``, or
+more technically, the shifted version. So `a` becomes `A` and so on, based on
+the current keyboard layout. This is needed to be able to match against a
+shortcut such as :kbd:`ctrl+plus` which depending on the type of keyboard could
+be either :kbd:`ctrl+shift+equal` or :kbd:`ctrl+plus`. Note that the shifted
+key must be present only if shift is also present in the modifiers.
+
+The *base layout key* is the key corresponding to the physical key in the
+standard PC-101 key layout. So for example, if the user is using a Cyrillic
+keyboard with a Cyrillic keyboard layout pressing the :kbd:`ctrl+С` key will
+be :kbd:`ctrl+c` in the standard layout. So the terminal should send the *base
+layout key* as ``99`` corresponding to the ``c`` key.
+
+If only one alternate key is present, it is the *shifted key* if the terminal
+wants to send only a base layout key but no shifted key, it must use an empty
+sub-field for the shifted key, like this::
+
+  CSI unicode-key-code::base-layout-key
+
+
+.. _modifiers:
+
+Modifiers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This protocol supports six modifier keys, :kbd:`shift, alt, ctrl, super, hyper
+and meta` as well as :kbd:`num_lock and caps_lock`. Here :kbd:`super` is either
+the *Windows/Linux* key or the *Cmd* key on mac keyboards. :kbd:`hyper` and
+:kbd:`meta` are typically present only on X11 based systems with special XKB
+rules. Modifiers are encoded as a bit field with::
+
+    shift     0b1         (1)
+    alt       0b10        (2)
+    ctrl      0b100       (4)
+    super     0b1000      (8)
+    hyper     0b10000     (16)
+    meta      0b100000    (32)
+    caps_lock 0b1000000   (64)
+    num_lock  0b10000000  (128)
+
+In the escape code, the modifier value is encoded as a decimal number which is
+``1 + actual modifiers``. So to represent :kbd:`shift` only, the value would be ``1 +
+1 = 2``, to represent :kbd:`ctrl+shift` the value would be ``1 + 0b101 = 6``
+and so on. If the modifier field is not present in the escape code, its default
+value is ``1`` which means no modifiers.
+
+
+.. _event_types:
+
+Event types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are three key event types: ``press, repeat and release``. They are
+reported (if requested ``0b10``) as a sub-field of the modifiers field
+(separated by a colon). If no modifiers are present, the modifiers field must
+have the value ``1`` and the event type sub-field the type of event. The
+``press`` event type has value ``1`` and is the default if no event type sub
+field is present. The ``repeat`` type is ``2`` and the ``release`` type is
+``3``. So for example::
+
+    CSI key-code             # this is a press event
+    CSI key-code;modifier    # this is a press event
+    CSI key-code;modifier:1  # this is a press event
+    CSI key-code;modifier:2  # this is a repeat event
+    CSI key-code;modifier:3  # this is a release event
+
+
+.. note:: Key events that result in text are reported as plain UTF-8 text, so
+   events are not supported for them, unless the application requests *key
+   report mode*, see below.
+
+.. _text_as_codepoints:
+
+Text as code points
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The terminal can optionally send the text associated with key events as a
+sequence of Unicode code points. This behavior is opt-in by the :ref:`progressive
+enhancement <progressive_enhancement>` mechanism described below. Some examples::
+
+    shift+a -> CSI 97 ; 2 ; 65 u  # The text 'A' is reported as 65
+    option+a -> CSI 97 ; ; 229 u  # The text 'å' is reported as 229
+
+If multiple code points are present, they must be separated by colons.
+If no known key is associated with the text the key number ``0`` must be used.
+
+
+Non-Unicode keys
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are many keys that don't correspond to letters from human languages, and
+thus aren't represented in Unicode. Think of functional keys, such as
+:kbd:`Escape, Play, Pause, F1, Home, etc`. These are encoded using Unicode code
+points from the Private Use Area (``57344 - 63743``). The mapping of key
+names to code points for these keys is in the
+:ref:`Functional key definition table below <functional>`.
+
+
+.. _progressive_enhancement:
+
+Progressive enhancement
+--------------------------
+
+While, in theory, every key event could be completely represented by this
+protocol and all would be hunk-dory, in reality there is a vast universe of
+existing terminal programs that expect legacy control codes for key events and
+that are not likely to ever be updated. To support these, in default mode,
+the terminal will emit legacy escape codes for compatibility. If a terminal
+program wants more robust key handling, it can request it from the terminal,
+via the mechanism described here. Each enhancement is described in detail
+below. The escape code for requesting enhancements is::
+
+    CSI = flags ; mode u
+
+Here ``flags`` is a decimal encoded integer to specify a set of bit-flags. The
+meanings of the flags are given below. The second, ``mode`` parameter is
+optional (defaulting to ``1``) and specifies how the flags are applied.
+The value ``1`` means all set bits are set and all unset bits are reset.
+The value ``2`` means all set bits are set, unset bits are left unchanged.
+The value ``3`` means all set bits are reset, unset bits are left unchanged.
+
+.. csv-table:: The progressive enhancement flags
+   :header: "Bit", "Meaning"
+
+   "0b1 (1)", ":ref:`disambiguate`"
+   "0b10 (2)", ":ref:`report_events`"
+   "0b100 (4)", ":ref:`report_alternates`"
+   "0b1000 (8)", ":ref:`report_all_keys`"
+   "0b10000 (16)", ":ref:`report_text`"
+
+The program running in the terminal can query the terminal for the
+current values of the flags by sending::
+
+    CSI ? u
+
+The terminal will reply with::
+
+    CSI ? flags u
+
+The program can also push/pop the current flags onto a stack in the
+terminal with::
+
+    CSI > flags u  # for push, if flags ommitted default to zero
+    CSI < number u # to pop number entries, defaulting to 1 if unspecified
+
+Terminals should limit the size of the stack as appropriate, to prevent
+Denial-of-Service attacks. Terminals must maintain separate stacks for the main
+and alternate screens. If a pop request is received that empties the stack,
+all flags are reset. If a push request is received and the stack is full, the
+oldest entry from the stack must be evicted.
+
+.. note:: The main and alternate screens in the terminal emulator must maintain
+   their own, independent, keyboard mode stacks. This is so that a program that
+   uses the alternate screen such as an editor, can change the keyboard mode
+   in the alternate screen only, without affecting the mode in the main screen
+   or even knowing what that mode is. Without this, and if no stack is
+   implemented for keyboard modes (such as in some legacy terminal emulators)
+   the editor would have to somehow know what the keyboard mode of the main
+   screen is and restore to that mode on exit.
+
+.. note:: In the interests of interoperation, the XTerm specific sequences
+   `CSI > 4; 1 m` and `CSI > 4; 0 m` are treated as `CSI > 1 u` and `CSI < 1 u`.
+   These codes cause XTerm to use the CSI u encoding for more keys and are therefore
+   treated as similar to the disambiguate progressive enhancement.
+
+.. _disambiguate:
+
+Disambiguate escape codes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This type of progressive enhancement (``0b1``) fixes the problem of some legacy key press
+encodings overlapping with other control codes. For instance, pressing the
+:kbd:`Esc` key generates the byte ``0x1b`` which also is used to indicate the
+start of an escape code. Similarly pressing the key :kbd:`alt+[` will generate
+the bytes used for CSI control codes.
+
+Turning on this flag will cause the terminal to report the :kbd:`Esc, alt+key,
+ctrl+key, ctrl+alt+key, shift+alt+key` keys using ``CSI u`` sequences instead
+of legacy ones. Here key is any ASCII key as described in :ref:`legacy_text`.
+Additionally, all keypad keys will be reported as separate keys with ``CSI u``
+encoding, using dedicated numbers from the :ref:`table below <functional>`.
+
+With this flag turned on, all key events that do not generate text are
+represented in one of the following two forms::
+
+    CSI number; modifier u
+    CSI 1; modifier [~ABCDEFHPQRS]
+
+This makes it very easy to parse key events in an application. In particular,
+:kbd:`ctrl+c` will no longer generate the ``SIGINT`` signal, but instead be
+delivered as a ``CSI u`` escape code. This has the nice side effect of making it
+much easier to integrate into the application event loop. The only exceptions
+are the :kbd:`Enter, Tab and Backspace` keys which still generate the same
+bytes as in legacy mode this is to allow the user to type and execute commands
+in the shell such as ``reset`` after a program that sets this mode crashes
+without clearing it.
+
+.. _report_events:
+
+Report event types
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This progressive enhancement (``0b10``) causes the terminal to report key repeat
+and key release events. Normally only key press events are reported and key
+repeat events are treated as key press events. See :ref:`event_types` for
+details on how these are reported.
+
+.. _report_alternates:
+
+Report alternate keys
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This progressive enhancement (``0b100``) causes the terminal to report
+alternate key values in addition to the main value, to aid in shortcut
+matching. See :ref:`key_codes` for details on how these are reported.
+
+.. _report_all_keys:
+
+Report all keys as escape codes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Key events that generate text, such as plain key presses without modifiers,
+result in just the text being sent, in the legacy protocol. There is no way to
+be notified of key repeat/release events. These types of events are needed for
+some applications, such as games (think of movement using the ``WASD`` keys).
+
+This progressive enhancement (``0b1000``) turns on key reporting even for key
+events that generate text. When it is enabled, text will not be sent, instead
+only key events are sent. If the text is needed as well, combine with the
+Report associated text enhancement below.
+
+Additionally, with this mode, events for pressing modifier keys are reported.
+Note that *all* keys are reported as escape codes, including :kbd:`Enter, Tab,
+Backspace` etc.
+
+.. _report_text:
+
+Report associated text
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This progressive enhancement (``0b10000``) causes key events that generate text
+to be reported as ``CSI u`` escape codes with the text embedded in the escape
+code. See :ref:`text_as_codepoints` above for details on the mechanism.
+
+
+.. _detection:
+
+Detection of support for this protocol
+------------------------------------------
+
+An application can query the terminal for support of this protocol by sending
+the escape code querying for the :ref:`current progressive enhancement
+<progressive_enhancement>` status
+followed by request for the `primary device attributes
+<https://vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DA1.html>`. If an answer for the device
+attributes is received without getting back an answer for the progressive
+enhancement the terminal does not support this protocol.
+
+
+Legacy key event encoding
+--------------------------------
+
+In the default mode, the terminal uses a legacy encoding for key events. In
+this encoding, only key press and repeat events are sent and there is no
+way to distinguish between them. Text is sent directly as UTF-8 bytes.
+
+Any key events not described in this section are sent using the standard
+``CSI u`` encoding. This includes keys that are not encodable in the legacy
+encoding, thereby increasing the space of usable key combinations even without
+progressive enhancement.
+
+Legacy functional keys
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These keys are encoded using three schemes::
+
+    CSI number ; modifier ~
+    CSI 1 ; modifier {ABCDEFHPQRS}
+    SS3 {ABCDEFHPQRS}
+
+In the above, if there are no modifiers, the modifier parameter is omitted.
+The modifier value is encoded as described in the :ref:`modifiers` section,
+above. When the second form is used, the number is always ``1`` and must be
+omitted if the modifiers field is also absent. The third form becomes the
+second form when modifiers are present (``SS3 is the bytes 0x1b 0x4f``).
+
+These sequences must match entries in the terminfo database for maximum
+compatibility. The table below lists the key, its terminfo entry name and
+the escape code used for it by kitty. A different terminal would use whatever
+escape code is present in its terminfo database for the key.
+Some keys have an alternate representation when the terminal is in *cursor key
+mode* (the ``smkx/rmkx`` terminfo capabilities). This form is used only in
+*cursor key mode* and only when no modifiers are present.

+
+There are a few more functional keys that have special cased legacy encodings.
+These are present because they are commonly used and for the sake of legacy
+terminal applications that get confused when seeing CSI u escape codes:

+
+Note that :kbd:`Backspace` and :kbd:`ctrl+Backspace` are swapped in some
+terminals, this can be detected using the ``kbs`` terminfo property that
+must correspond to the :kbd:`Backspace` key.
+
+All keypad keys are reported as their equivalent non-keypad keys. To
+distinguish these, use the :ref:`disambiguate <disambiguate>` flag.
+
+.. _legacy_text:
+
+Legacy text keys
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For legacy compatibility, the keys
+:kbd:`a-z 0-9 \` - = [ ] \ ; ' , . /` with the modifiers
+:kbd:`shift, alt, ctrl, shift+alt, ctrl+alt` are output using the
+following algorithm:
+
+#. If the :kbd:`alt` key is pressed output the byte for ``ESC (0x1b)``
+#. If the :kbd:`ctrl` modifier is pressed map the key using the table
+   in :ref:`ctrl_mapping`.
+#. Otherwise, if the :kbd:`shift` modifier is pressed, output the shifted key,
+   for example, ``A`` for ``a`` and ``$`` for ``4``.
+#. Otherwise, output the key unmodified
+
+Additionally, :kbd:`ctrl+space` is output as the NULL byte ``(0x0)``.
+
+Any other combination of modifiers with these keys is output as the appropriate
+``CSI u`` escape code.

+   Many of the legacy escape codes are ambiguous with multiple different key

+   same as :kbd:`tab`, :kbd:`ctrl+m` is the same as :kbd:`Enter`, :kbd:`ctrl+r`

+------------------------------------------
+
+When the :kbd:`ctrl` key and another key are pressed on the keyboard, terminals
+map the result *for some keys* to a *C0 control code* i.e. an value from ``0 -
+31``. This mapping was historically dependent on the layout of hardware
+terminal keyboards and is not specified anywhere, completely. The best known
+reference is `Table 3-5 in the VT-100 docs <https://vt100.net/docs/vt100-ug/chapter3.html>`_.
+
+The table below provides a mapping that is a commonly used superset of the table above.
+Any ASCII keys not in the table must be left untouched by :kbd:`ctrl`.

+Bugs in fixterms
+-------------------
+
+The following is a list of errata in the `original fixterms proposal
+<http://www.leonerd.org.uk/hacks/fixterms/>`_, corrected in this
+specification.
+
+* No way to disambiguate :kbd:`Esc` key presses, other than using 8-bit controls
+  which are undesirable for other reasons
+
+* Incorrectly claims special keys are sometimes encoded using ``CSI letter`` encodings when it
+  is actually ``SS3 letter`` in all terminals newer than a VT-52, which is
+  pretty much everything.
+
+* :kbd:`ctrl+shift+tab` should be ``CSI 9 ; 6 u`` not ``CSI 1 ; 5 Z``
+  (shift+tab is not a separate key from tab)
+
+* No support for the :kbd:`super` modifier.
+
+* Makes no mention of cursor key mode and how it changes encodings
+
+* Incorrectly encoding shifted keys when shift modifier is used, for instance,
+  for :kbd:`ctrl+shift+i` is encoded as :kbd:`ctrl+I`.
+
+* No way to have non-conflicting escape codes for :kbd:`alt+letter,
+  ctrl+letter, ctrl+alt+letter` key presses
+
+* No way to specify both shifted and unshifted keys for robust shortcut
+  matching (think matching :kbd:`ctrl+shift+equal` and :kbd:`ctrl+plus`)
+
+* No way to specify alternate layout key. This is useful for keyboard layouts
+  such as Cyrillic where you want the shortcut :kbd:`ctrl+c` to work when
+  pressing the :kbd:`ctrl+С` on the keyboard.
+
+* No way to report repeat and release key events, only key press events
+
+* No way to report key events for presses that generate text, useful for
+  gaming. Think of using the :kbd:`WASD` keys to control movement.
+
+* Only a small subset of all possible functional keys are assigned numbers.
+
+* Claims the ``CSI u`` escape code has no fixed meaning, but has been used for
+  decades as ``SCORC`` for instance by xterm and ansi.sys and `DECSMBV
+  <https://vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DECSMBV.html>`_ by the VT-510 hardware
+  terminal. This doesn't really matter since these uses are for communication
+  to the terminal not from the terminal.
+
+* Handwaves that :kbd:`ctrl` *tends to* mask with ``0x1f``. In actual fact it
+  does this only for some keys. The action of :kbd:`ctrl` is not specified and
+  varies between terminals, historically because of different keyboard layouts.

+Hyperlinked grep
+=================
+
+
+This kitten allows you to search your files using `ripgrep
+<https://www.google.com/search?q=ripgrep>`_ and open the results
+directly in your favorite editor in the terminal, at the line containing
+the search result, simply by clicking on the result you want.
+
+.. versionadded:: 0.19.0
+
+To set it up, first create :file:`~/.config/kitty/open-actions.conf` with the
+following contents:
+
+.. code:: conf
+
+    # Open any file with a fragment in vim, fragments are generated
+    # by the hyperlink_grep kitten and nothing else so far.
+    protocol file
+    fragment_matches [0-9]+
+    action launch --type=overlay vim +${FRAGMENT} ${FILE_PATH}
+
+    # Open text files without fragments in the editor
+    protocol file
+    mime text/*
+    action launch --type=overlay ${EDITOR} ${FILE_PATH}
+
+
+Now, run a search with::
+
+    kitty +kitten hyperlinked_grep something
+
+Hold down the :kbd:`ctrl+shift` keys and click on any of the
+result lines, to open the file in vim at the matching line. If
+you use some editor other than vim, you should adjust the
+:file:`open-actions.conf` file accordingly.
+
+Finally, add an alias to your shell's rc files to invoke the kitten as ``hg``::
+
+    alias hg='kitty +kitten hyperlinked_grep'
+
+
+You can now run searches with::
+
+    hg some-search-term
+
+If you want to enable completion, for the kitten, you can delegate completion
+to rg. For that, instead of using an alias create a simple wrapper script named
+:file:`hg` somewhere in your ``PATH``:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    #!/bin/sh
+    exec kitty +kitten hyperlinked_grep "$@"
+
+Then, for example, for ZSH, add the following to :file:`.zshrc`::
+
+    compdef _rg hg
+
+To learn more about kitty's powerful framework for customizing URL click
+actions, :doc:`see here </open_actions>`.
+
+Hopefully, someday this functionality will make it into some `upstream grep
+<https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/665>`_
+program directly removing the need for this kitten.
+
+
+.. note::
+   While you can pass any of ripgrep's comand line options to the kitten and
+   they will be forwarded to rg, do not use options that change the output
+   formatting as the kitten works by parsing the output from ripgrep.

+Changing kitty colors
+========================
+
+The themes kitten allows you to easily change color themes, from a collection
+of almost two hundred pre-built themes available at `kitty-themes
+<https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty-themes>`_. To use it, simply run::
+
+    kitty +kitten themes
+
+The kitten allows you to pick a theme, with live previews of the colors. You
+can choose between light and dark themes and search by theme name by just
+typing a few characters from the name.
+
+The kitten maintains a list of recently used themes to allow quick switching.
+
+If you want to restore the colors to default, you can do so by choosing the
+``Default`` theme.
+
+.. versionadded:: 0.23.0
+   The themes kitten
+
+How it works
+----------------
+
+A theme in kitty is just a :file:`.conf` file containing kitty settings.
+When you select a theme, the kitten simply copies the :file:`.conf` file
+to :file:`~/.config/kitty/current-theme.conf` and adds an include for
+:file:`current-theme.conf` to :file:`kitty.conf`. It also comments out
+any existing color settings in :file:`kitty.conf` so they do not interfere.
+
+Once that's done, the kitten sends kitty a signal to make it reload its config.
+
+Using your own themes
+-----------------------
+
+You can also create your own themes as :file:`.conf` files. Put them in the
+:file:`themes` sub-directory of the kitty config directory, usually,
+:file:`~/.config/kitty/themes` and the kitten will automatically add them to
+the list of themes. You can use this to modify the builtin themes, by giving
+the conf file the name :file:`Some theme name.conf` to override the builtin
+theme of that name. Note that after doing so you have to run the kitten and
+choose that theme once for your changes to be applied.
+
+
+Contributing new themes
+-------------------------
+
+If you wish to contribute a new theme to the kitty theme repository, simply
+go to `kitty-themes <https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty-themes>`_ and open a pull request
+asking to add your contributions to the repository. Use the file
+:download:`template.conf <https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty-themes/raw/master/template.conf>` as
+a template when creating your theme.
+
+
+Changing the theme non-interactively
+---------------------------------------
+
+You can specify the theme name as an argument when invoking the kitten
+to have it change to that theme instantly. For example::
+
+    kitty +kitten theme --reload-in=all Dimmed Monokai
+
+Will change the theme to ``Dimmed Monokai`` in all running kitty
+instances. See below for more details on non-interactive operation.

+
+
+Watching launched windows
+---------------------------
+
+The :option:`launch --watcher` option allows you to specify python functions
+that will be called at specific events, such as when the window is resized or
+closed. Simply specify the path to a python module that specifies callback
+functions for the events you are interested in, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def on_resize(boss, window, data):
+        # Here data will contain old_geometry and new_geometry
+
+    def on_focus_change(boss, window, data):
+        # Here data kill contain focused
+
+    def on_close(boss, window, data):
+        # called when window is closed, typically when the program running in
+        # it exits.
+
+
+Every callback is passed a reference to the global ``Boss`` object as well as
+the ``Window`` object the action is occurring on. The ``data`` object is
+mapping that contains event dependent data. Some useful methods and attributes
+for the ``Window`` object are: ``as_text(as_ans=False, add_history=False,
+add_wrap_markers=False, alternate_screen=False)`` with which you can get the
+contents of the window and its scrollback buffer. Similarly,
+``window.child.pid`` is the PID of the processes that was launched
+in the window and ``window.id`` is the internal kitty ``id`` of the
+window.
+
+
+Finding executables
+-----------------------
+
+When you specify a command to run as just a name rather than an absolute path,
+it is searched for in the system-wide ``PATH`` environment variable. Note that
+this **may not** be the value of ``PATH`` inside a shell, as shell startup scripts
+often change the value of this variable. If it is not found there, then a
+system specific list of default paths is searched. If it is still not found,
+then your shell is run and the value of ``PATH`` inside the shell is used.

+There are many different layouts available. They are all enabled by default,
+you can switch layouts using :sc:`next_layout`. To control which layouts
+are available use :opt:`enabled_layouts`, the first listed layout becomes
+the default. Individual layouts and how to use them are described below.
+
+
+The Stack Layout
+------------------
+
+This is the simplest layout it displays a single window using all available
+space, other windows are hidden behind it. It has no options::
+
+    enabled_layouts stack
+
+
+The Tall Layout
+------------------
+
+Displays one (or optionally more) full height windows on the left half of the
+screen. Remaining windows are tiled vertically on the right half of the screen.
+There are options to control how the screen is split horizontally ``bias``
+(an integer between ``10`` and ``90``) and options to control how many
+full-height windows there are ``full_size`` (a positive integer). The
+``mirrored`` option when set to ``true`` will cause the short windows to be
+on the left side of the screen instead of the right. The syntax
+for the options is shown below::
+
+    enabled_layouts tall:bias=50;full_size=1;mirrored=false
+
+    ┌──────────────┬───────────────┐
+    │              │               │
+    │              │               │
+    │              │               │
+    │              ├───────────────┤

+    │              │               │
+    └──────────────┴───────────────┘
+
+In addition, you can map keys to increase or decrease the number of full size
+windows, for example::
+
+   map ctrl+[ layout_action decrease_num_full_size_windows
+   map ctrl+] layout_action increase_num_full_size_windows
+
+
+The Fat Layout
+----------------
+
+Displays one (or optionally more) full width windows on the top half of the
+screen. Remaining windows are tiled horizontally on the bottom half of the screen.
+There are options to control how the screen is split vertically ``bias``
+(an integer between ``10`` and ``90``) and options to control how many
+full-height windows there are ``full_size`` (a positive integer). The
+``mirrored`` option when set to ``true`` will cause the narrow windows to be
+on the top of the screen instead of the bottom. The syntax for the options is
+shown below::
+
+    enabled_layouts fat:bias=50;full_size=1;mirrored=false
+
+    ┌──────────────────────────────┐
+    │                              │

+
+The Splits Layout
+--------------------
+
+This is the most flexible layout. You can create any arrangement of windows
+by splitting exiting windows repeatedly. To best use this layout you should
+define a few extra keybindings in :file:`kitty.conf`::
+
+    map F5 launch --location=hsplit
+    map F6 launch --location=vsplit
+    map F7 layout_action rotate
+
+    map shift+up move_window up
+    map shift+left move_window left
+    map shift+right move_window right
+    map shift+down move_window down
+
+    map ctrl+left neighboring_window left
+    map ctrl+right neighboring_window right
+    map ctrl+up neighboring_window up
+    map ctrl+down neighboring_window down
+
+Now you can create horizontal and vertical splits by using :kbd:`F5` and
+:kbd:`F6`. You can move them around using :kbd:`shift+arrow keys`
+and you can move focus to neighboring windows using :kbd:`ctrl+arrow keys`.
+You can switch an existing split from horizontal to vertical and vice versa
+using :kbd:`F7`. Finally, windows can be resized using :ref:`window_resizing`.
+
+This layout takes one option, ``split_axis`` that controls whether new windows
+are placed into vertical or horizontal splits, by default::
+
+    enabled_layouts splits:split_axis=horizontal

+
+Resizing windows
+------------------
+
+You can resize windows inside layouts. Press :sc:`start_resizing_window` (also
+:kbd:`⌘+r` on macOS) to enter resizing mode and follow the on-screen
+instructions.  In a given window layout only some operations may be possible
+for a particular window. For example, in the Tall layout you can make the first
+window wider/narrower, but not taller/shorter. Note that what you are resizing
+is actually not a window, but a row/column in the layout, all windows in that
+row/column will be resized.
+
+You can also define shortcuts in :file:`kitty.conf` to make the active window
+wider, narrower, taller, or shorter by mapping to the ``resize_window``
+action, for example::
+
+   map ctrl+left resize_window narrower
+   map ctrl+right resize_window wider
+   map ctrl+up resize_window taller
+   map ctrl+down resize_window shorter 3
+
+The ``resize_window`` action has a second, optional argument to control
+the resizing increment (a positive integer that defaults to 1).
+
+
+Some layouts take options to control their behavior. For example, the ``fat``
+and ``tall`` layouts accept the ``bias`` and ``full_size`` options to control
+how the available space is split up.
+To specify the option, in :opt:`kitty.conf <enabled_layouts>` use::
+
+    enabled_layouts tall:bias=70;full_size=2
+
+This will have ``2`` instead of a single tall window, that occupy ``70%``
+instead of ``50%`` of available width. ``bias`` can be any number between 10
+and 90.
+
+Writing a new layout only requires about two hundred lines of code, so if there
+is some layout you want, take a look at one of the existing layouts in the
+`layout <https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/tree/master/kitty/layout>`_
+package and submit a pull request!

+Mark text on screen
+---------------------
+
+
+kitty has the ability to mark text on the screen based on regular expressions.
+This can be useful to highlight words or phrases when browsing output from long
+running programs or similar. Lets start with a few examples:
+
+Examples
+----------
+
+Suppose we want to be able to highlight the word ERROR in the current window.
+Add the following to :file:`kitty.conf`::
+
+    map f1 toggle_marker text 1 ERROR
+
+Now when you press :kbd:`F1` all instances of the word :code:`ERROR` will be
+highlighted. To turn off the highlighting, press :kbd:`F1` again.
+If you want to make it case-insensitive, use::
+
+    map f1 toggle_marker itext 1 ERROR
+
+To make it match only complete words, use::
+
+    map f1 toggle_marker regex 1 \\bERROR\\b
+
+Suppose you want to highlight both :code:`ERROR` and :code:`WARNING`, case
+insensitively::
+
+    map f1 toggle_marker iregex 1 \\bERROR\\b 2 \\bWARNING\\b
+
+kitty supports up to 3 mark groups (the numbers in the commands above). You
+can control the colors used for these groups in :file:`kitty.conf` with::
+
+    mark1_foreground red
+    mark1_background gray
+    mark2_foreground green
+    ...
+
+
+.. note::
+    For performance reasons, matching is done per line only, and only when that line is
+    altered in any way. So you cannot match text that stretches across multiple
+    lines.
+
+
+Creating markers dynamically
+---------------------------------
+
+If you want to create markers dynamically rather than pre-defining them in
+:file:`kitty.conf` you can do so as follows::
+
+    map f1 create_marker
+    map f2 remove_marker
+
+Then pressing :kbd:`F1` will allow you to enter the marker definition and set
+it and pressing :kbd:`F2` will remove the marker. ``create_marker`` accepts
+the same syntax as ``toggle_marker`` above. Note that while creating
+markers, the prompt has history so you can easily re-use previous marker
+expressions.
+
+You can also use the facilities for :doc:`remote-control` to dynamically
+add/remove markers.
+
+
+Scrolling to marks
+--------------------
+
+kitty has an action to scroll to the next line that contains a mark. You can
+use it by mapping it to some shortcut in :file:`kitty.conf`::
+
+    map ctrl+p scroll_to_mark prev
+    map ctrl+n scroll_to_mark next
+
+Then pressing :kbd:`ctrl+p` will scroll to the first line in the scrollback
+buffer above the current top line that contains a mark. Pressing :kbd:`ctrl+n`
+will scroll to show the first line below the current last line that contains
+a mark. If you wish to jump to a mark of a specific type, you can add that to
+the mapping::
+
+    map ctrl+1 scroll_to_mark prev 1
+
+Which will scroll only to marks of type 1.
+
+
+The full syntax for creating marks
+-------------------------------------
+
+The syntax of the :code:`toggle_marker` command is::
+
+    toggle_marker <marker-type> <specification>
+
+Here :code:`marker-type` is one of:
+
+* :code:`text` - simple substring matching
+* :code:`itext` - case-insensitive substring matching
+* :code:`regex` - A python regular expression
+* :code:`iregex` - A case-insensitive python regular expression
+* :code:`function` - An arbitrary function defined in a python file, see :ref:`marker_funcs`.
+
+.. _marker_funcs:
+
+Arbitrary marker functions
+-----------------------------
+
+You can create your own marker functions. Create a python file named
+:file:`mymarker.py` and in it create a :code:`marker` function. This
+function receives the text of the line as input and must yield three numbers,
+the starting character position, the ending character position and the mark
+group (1-3). For example:
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    def marker(text):
+        # Function to highlight the letter X
+        for i, ch in enumerate(text):
+            if ch.lower() == 'x':
+                yield i, i, 3
+
+
+Save this file somewhere and in :file:`kitty.conf`, use::
+
+    map f1 toggle_marker function /path/to/mymarker.py
+
+If you save the file in the kitty config directory, you can use::
+
+    map f1 toggle_marker function mymarker.py

+Scripting the mouse click
+======================================================
+
+|kitty| has support for `terminal hyperlinks
+<https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda>`_. These
+are generated by many terminal programs, such as ``ls``, ``gcc``, ``systemd``,
+:ref:`tool_mdcat`, etc. You can customize exactly what happens when clicking on these
+hyperlinks in |kitty|.
+
+You can tell kitty to take arbitrarily many, complex actions
+when a link is clicked. Let us illustrate with some examples, first. Create
+the file :file:`~/.config/kitty/open-actions.conf` with the following:
+
+.. code:: conf
+
+    # Open any image in the full kitty window by clicking on it
+    protocol file
+    mime image/*
+    action launch --type=overlay kitty +kitten icat --hold ${FILE_PATH}
+
+Now, run ``ls --hyperlink=auto`` in kitty and click on the filename of an
+image, holding down :kbd:`ctrl+shift`. It will be opened over the current
+window. Press any key to close it.
+
+Each entry in :file:`open-actions.conf` consists of one or more
+:ref:`matching_criteria`, such as ``protocol`` and ``mime`` and one or more
+``action`` entries. In the example above kitty uses the :doc:`launch <launch>`
+action which can be used to run external programs. Entries are separated by
+blank lines.
+
+Actions are very powerful, anything that you can map to a key combination in
+`kitty.conf` can be used as an action. You can specify more than one action per
+entry if you like, for example:
+
+
+.. code:: conf
+
+    # Tail a log file (*.log) in a new OS Window and reduce its font size
+    protocol file
+    ext log
+    action launch --title ${FILE} --type=os-window tail -f ${FILE_PATH}
+    action change_font_size current -2
+
+
+In the action specification you can expand environment variables, as shown in
+the examples above. In addition to regular environment variables, there are
+some special variables, documented below:
+
+``URL``
+    The full URL being opened
+
+``FILE_PATH``
+    The path portion of the URL (unquoted)
+
+``FILE``
+    The file portion of the path of the URL (unquoted)
+
+``FRAGMENT``
+    The fragment (unquoted), if any of the URL or the empty string.
+
+.. _matching_criteria:
+
+Matching criteria
+------------------
+
+An entry in :file:`open-actions.conf` must have one or more matching criteria.
+URLs that match all criteria for an entry will trigger that entry's actions.
+Processing stops at the first matching entry, so put more specific matching
+criteria at the start of the list. Entries in the file are separated by blank
+lines. The various available criteria are:
+
+``protocol``
+    A comma separated list of protocols, for example: ``http, https``. If
+    absent, there is no constraint on protocol
+
+``url``
+    A regular expression that must match against the entire (unquoted) URL
+
+``fragment_matches``
+    A regular expression that must match against the fragment (part after #) in
+    the URL
+
+``mime``
+    A comma separated list of MIME types, for example: ``text/*, image/*,
+    application/pdf``. You can add MIME types to kitty by creating the
+    :file:`mime.types` in the kitty configuration directory. Useful if your
+    system MIME database does not have definitions you need. This file is
+    in the standard format of one definition per line, like: ``text/plain rst
+    md``. Note that the MIME type for directories is ``inode/directory``.
+
+``ext``
+    A comma separated list of file extensions, for example: ``jpeg, tar.gz``
+
+``file``
+    A shell glob pattern that must match the filename, for example:
+    ``image-??.png``

+Overview
+==============
+
+Design philosophy
+-------------------
+
+|kitty| is designed for power keyboard users. To that end all its controls
+work with the keyboard (although it fully supports mouse interactions as
+well). Its configuration is a simple, human editable, single file for
+easy reproducibility (I like to store configuration in source control).
+
+The code in |kitty| is designed to be simple, modular and hackable. It is
+written in a mix of C (for performance sensitive parts) and Python (for
+easy hackability of the UI). It does not depend on any large and complex
+UI toolkit, using only OpenGL for rendering everything.
+
+Finally, |kitty| is designed from the ground up to support all modern
+terminal features, such as unicode, true color, bold/italic fonts, text
+formatting, etc. It even extends existing text formatting escape codes,
+to add support for features not available elsewhere, such as colored and
+styled (curly) underlines. One of the design goals of |kitty| is to be
+easily extensible so that new features can be added in the future with
+relatively little effort.
+
+.. include:: basic.rst
+
+
+Configuring kitty
+-------------------
+
+|kitty| is highly configurable, everything from keyboard shortcuts to
+painting frames-per-second. Press :sc:`edit_config_file` in kitty
+to open its fully commented sample config file in your text editor.
+For details see the :doc:`configuration docs <conf>`.

+
+.. _layouts:
+
+Layouts
+----------
+
+A :term:`layout` is an arrangement of multiple :term:`kitty windows <window>`
+inside a top-level :term:`OS window <os_window>`. The layout manages all its
+windows automatically, resizing and moving them as needed. You can create a new
+:term:`window` using the :sc:`new_window` key combination.
+
+Currently, there are seven layouts available:
+
+* **Fat** -- One (or optionally more) windows are shown full width on the top, the rest of the windows are shown side-by-side on the bottom
+* **Grid** -- All windows are shown in a grid
+* **Horizontal** -- All windows are shown side-by-side
+* **Splits** -- Windows arranged in arbitrary patterns created using horizontal and vertical splits
+* **Stack** -- Only a single maximized window is shown at a time
+* **Tall** -- One (or optionally more) windows are shown full height on the left, the rest of the windows are shown one below the other on the right
+* **Vertical** -- All windows are shown one below the other
+
+By default, all layouts are enabled and you can switch between layouts using
+the :sc:`next_layout` key combination. You can also create shortcuts to select
+particular layouts, and choose which layouts you want to enable/disable, see
+:ref:`conf-kitty-shortcuts.layout` for examples. The first layout listed in
+:opt:`enabled_layouts` becomes the default layout.

+
+Extending kitty
+------------------
+
+kitty has a powerful framework for scripting. You can create small terminal
+programs called :doc:`kittens <kittens_intro>`. These can used to add features
+to kitty, for example, :doc:`editing remote files <kittens/remote_file>` or
+:doc:`inputting unicode characters <kittens/unicode-input>`. They can also be
+used to create programs that leverage kitty's powerful features, for example,
+:doc:`viewing images <kittens/icat>` or :doc:`diffing files with images
+<kittens/diff>`.
+
+You can :doc:`create your own kittens to scratch your own itches
+<kittens/custom>`.
+
+For a list of all the builtin kittens, :ref:`see here <kittens>`.
+
+.. toctree::
+   :hidden:
+
+   kittens_intro
+
+
+Remote control
+------------------
+
+|kitty| has a very powerful system that allows you to control it from the
+:doc:`shell prompt, even over SSH <remote-control>`. You can change colors,
+fonts, open new :term:`windows <window>`, :term:`tabs <tab>`, set their titles,
+change window layout, get text
+from one window and send text to another, etc, etc. The possibilities are
+endless. See the :doc:`tutorial <remote-control>` to get started.
+
+.. toctree::
+   :hidden:
+
+   remote-control
+
+
+.. _sessions:
+
+Startup Sessions
+------------------
+
+You can control the :term:`tabs <tab>`, :term:`kitty window <window>` layout,
+working directory, startup programs,
+etc. by creating a "session" file and using the :option:`kitty --session`
+command line flag or the :opt:`startup_session` option in :file:`kitty.conf`.
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: session
+
+    # Set the layout for the current tab
+    layout tall
+    # Set the working directory for windows in the current tab
+    cd ~
+    # Create a window and run the specified command in it
+    launch zsh
+    # Create a window with some environment variables set and run
+    # vim in it
+    launch --env FOO=BAR vim
+    # Set the title for the next window
+    launch --title "Chat with x" irssi --profile x
+
+    # Create a new tab (the part after new_tab is the optional tab
+    # name which will be displayed in the tab bar, if omitted, the
+    # title of the active window will be used instead)
+    new_tab my tab
+    cd ~/somewhere
+    # Set the layouts allowed in this tab
+    enabled_layouts tall, stack
+    # Set the current layout
+    layout stack
+    launch zsh
+
+    # Create a new OS window
+    new_os_window
+    # set new window size to 80x25 cells
+    os_window_size 80c 25c
+    # set the --class for the new OS window
+    os_window_class mywindow
+    launch sh
+    # Make the current window the active (focused) window
+    focus
+    launch emacs
+
+.. note::
+    The :doc:`launch <launch>` command when used in a session file
+    cannot create new OS windows, or tabs.
+
+
+Creating tabs/windows
+-------------------------------
+
+kitty can be told to run arbitrary programs in new :term:`tabs <tab>`,
+:term:`windows <window>` or :term:`overlays <overlay>` at a keypress.
+To learn how to do this, see :doc:`here <launch>`.
+
+.. toctree::
+   :hidden:
+
+   launch
+
+
+Mouse features
+-------------------
+
+* You can click on a URL to open it in a browser.
+* You can double click to select a word and then drag to select more words.
+* You can triple click to select a line and then drag to select more lines.
+* You can triple click while holding :kbd:`ctrl+alt` to select from clicked
+  point to end of line.
+* You can right click to extend a previous selection.
+* You can hold down :kbd:`ctrl+alt` and drag with the mouse to select in
+  columns.
+* Selecting text automatically copies it to the primary clipboard (on
+  platforms with a primary clipboard).
+* You can middle click to paste from the primary clipboard (on platforms
+  with a primary clipboard).
+* You can select text with kitty even when a terminal program has grabbed
+  the mouse by holding down the :kbd:`shift` key.
+
+All these actions can be customized in :file:`kitty.conf` as described
+:ref:`here <conf-kitty-mouse.mousemap>`.
+
+You can also customize what happens when clicking on :term:`hyperlinks` in kitty,
+having it open files in your editor, download remote files, open things
+in your browser, etc.
+
+For details, see :doc:`here <open_actions>`.
+
+.. toctree::

+   open_actions
+
+Font control
+-----------------
+
+|kitty| has extremely flexible and powerful font selection features. You can
+specify individual families for the regular, bold, italic and bold+italic
+fonts. You can even specify specific font families for specific ranges of
+unicode characters. This allows precise control over text rendering. It can
+come in handy for applications like powerline, without the need to use patched
+fonts. See the various font related configuration directives in
+:ref:`conf-kitty-fonts`.
+
+
+.. _scrollback:
+
+The scrollback buffer
+-----------------------
+
+|kitty| supports scrolling back to view history, just like most terminals. You
+can use either keyboard shortcuts or the mouse scroll wheel to do so.  However,
+|kitty| has an extra, neat feature. Sometimes you need to explore the
+scrollback buffer in more detail, maybe search for some text or refer to it
+side-by-side while typing in a follow-up command. |kitty| allows you to do this
+by pressing the :sc:`show_scrollback` key-combination, which will open the
+scrollback buffer in your favorite pager program (which is ``less`` by default).
+Colors and text formatting are preserved. You can explore the scrollback buffer
+comfortably within the pager.
+
+Additionally, you can pipe the contents of the scrollback buffer to an
+arbitrary, command running in a new :term:`window`, :term:`tab` or :term:`overlay`,
+for example::
+
+   map f1 launch --stdin-source=@screen_scrollback --stdin-add-formatting less +G -R
+
+Would open the scrollback buffer in a new :term:`window` when you press the :kbd:`F1`
+key. See :sc:`show_scrollback` for details.
+
+If you want to use it with an editor such as vim to get more powerful features,
+you can see tips for doing so, in
+`this thread <https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/719>`_.
+
+If you wish to store very large amounts of scrollback to view using the piping or
+:sc:`show_scrollback` features, you can use the :opt:`scrollback_pager_history_size`
+option.
+
+.. _cpbuf:
+
+Multiple copy/paste buffers
+-----------------------------
+
+In addition to being able to copy/paste from the system clipboard, in |kitty| you
+can also setup an arbitrary number of copy paste buffers. To do so, simply add
+something like the following to your :file:`kitty.conf`::
+
+   map f1 copy_to_buffer a
+   map f2 paste_from_buffer a
+
+This will allow you to press :kbd:`F1` to copy the current selection to an
+internal buffer named ``a`` and :kbd:`F2` to paste from that buffer. The buffer
+names are arbitrary strings, so you can define as many such buffers as you
+need.
+
+
+Marks
+-------------
+
+kitty has the ability to mark text on the screen based on regular expressions.
+This can be useful to highlight words or phrases when browsing output from long
+running programs or similar. To learn how this feature works, see :doc:`marks`.

-Keyboard handling
--------------------
-
-There are various problems with the current state of keyboard handling. They
-include:
-
-* No way to use modifiers other than ``Ctrl`` and ``Alt``
-
-* No way to reliably use multiple modifier keys, other than, ``Shift+Alt``.
-
-* No way to handle different types of keyboard events, such as press, release or repeat
-
-* No reliable way to distinguish single ``Esc`` keypresses from the start of a
-  escape sequence. Currently, client programs use fragile timing related hacks
-  for this, leading to bugs, for example:
-  `neovim #2035 <https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/2035>`_.
-
-There are already two distinct keyboard handling modes, *normal mode* and
-*application mode*. These modes generate different escape sequences for the
-various special keys (arrow keys, function keys, home/end etc.) Most terminals
-start out in normal mode, however, most shell programs like ``bash`` switch them to
-application mode. We propose adding a third mode, named *full mode* that addresses
-the shortcomings listed above.
-
-Switching to the new *full mode* is accomplished using the standard private
-mode DECSET escape sequence::
-
-    <ESC>[?2017h
-
-and to leave *full mode*, use DECRST::
-
-    <ESC>[?2017l
-
-The number ``2017`` above is not used for any existing modes, as far as I know.
-Client programs can query if the terminal emulator is in *full mode* by using
-the standard `DECRQM <https://vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DECRQM.html>`_ escape sequence.
-
-The new mode works as follows:
-
-  * All printable key presses without modifier keys are sent just as in the
-    *normal mode*. This means all printable ASCII characters and in addition,
-    ``Enter``, ``Space`` and ``Backspace``. Also any unicode characters generated by
-    platform specific extended input modes, such as using the ``AltGr`` key. This
-    is done so that client programs that are not aware of this mode can still
-    handle basic text entry, so if a *full mode* using program crashes and does
-    not reset, the user can still issue a ``reset`` command in the shell to restore
-    normal key handling. Note that this includes pressing the ``Shift`` modifier
-    and printable keys. Note that this means there are no repeat and release
-    events for these keys and also for the left and right shift keys.
-
-  * For non printable keys and key combinations including one or more modifiers,
-    an escape sequence encoding the key event is sent. For details on the
-    escape sequence, see below.
-
-The escape sequence encodes the following properties:
-
-  * Type of event: ``press,repeat,release``
-  * Modifiers pressed at the time of the event
-  * The actual key being pressed
-
-Schematically::
-
-    <ESC>_K<type><modifiers><key><ESC>\
-
-Where ``<type>`` is one of ``p`` -- press, ``r`` -- release and ``t`` -- repeat.
-Modifiers is a bitmask represented as a single base64 digit.  Shift -- ``0x1``,
-Alt -- ``0x2``, Control -- ``0x4`` and Super -- ``0x8``.  ``<key>`` is a number
-(encoded in base85) corresponding to the key pressed. The key name to number
-mapping is defined in :doc:`this table <key-encoding>`.
-
-Client programs must ignore events for keys they do not know. The mapping in
-the above table is stable and will never change, however, new codes might be
-added to it in the future, for new keys.
-
-For example::
-
-    <ESC>_KpGp<ESC>\  is  <Ctrl>+<Alt>+x (press)
-    <ESC>_KrP8<ESC>\  is  <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Shift>+<Super>+PageUp (release)
-
-This encoding means each key event is represented by 8 or 9 printable ascii
-only bytes, for maximum robustness.
-
-To see the full mode in action, run::
-
-   kitty +kitten key_demo
-
-Support for this mode is indicated by the ``fullkbd`` boolean capability
-in the terminfo database, in case querying for it via DECQRM is inconvenient.
-
-.. _ext_styles:
-
-Setting text styles/colors in arbitrary regions of the screen
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-There already exists an escape code to set *some* text attributes in arbitrary
-regions of the screen, `DECCARA
-<https://vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/DECCARA.html>`_.  However, it is limited to
-only a few attributes. |kitty| extends this to work with *all* SGR attributes.
-So, for example, this can be used to set the background color in an arbitrary
-region of the screen.
-
-The motivation for this extension is the various problems with the existing
-solution for erasing to background color, namely the *background color erase
-(bce)* capability. See
-`this discussion <https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/160#issuecomment-346470545>`_
-and `this FAQ <https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#bce_mismatches>`_
-for a summary of problems with *bce*.
-
-For example, to set the background color to blue in a
-rectangular region of the screen from (3, 4) to (10, 11), you use::
-
-    <ESC>[2*x<ESC>[4;3;11;10;44$r<ESC>[*x
-
-
-Saving and restoring the default foreground/background/selection/cursor colors
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-It is often useful for a full screen application with its own color themes
-to set the default foreground, background, selection and cursor colors. This
-allows for various performance optimizations when drawing the screen. The
-problem is that if the user previously used the escape codes to change these
-colors herself, then running the full screen application will lose her
-changes even after it exits. To avoid this, kitty introduces a new pair of
-*OSC* escape codes to push and pop the current color values from a stack::
-
-    <ESC>]30001<ESC>\  # push onto stack
-    <ESC>]30101<ESC>\  # pop from stack
-
-These escape codes save/restore the so called *dynamic colors*, default
-background, default foreground, selection background, selection foreground and
-cursor color.
-
-
-Pasting to clipboard
-----------------------
-
-|kitty| implements the OSC 52 escape code protocol to get/set the clipboard
-contents (controlled via the :opt:`clipboard_control` setting). There is one
-difference in kitty's implementation compared to some other terminal emulators.
-|kitty| allows sending arbitrary amounts of text to the clipboard. It does so
-by modifying the protocol slightly. Successive OSC 52 escape codes to set the
-clipboard will concatenate, so::
-
-    <ESC>]52;c;<payload1><ESC>\
-    <ESC>]52;c;<payload2><ESC>\
-
-will result in the clipboard having the contents ``payload1 + payload2``. To
-send a new string to the clipboard send an OSC 52 sequence with an invalid payload
-first, for example::
-
-    <ESC>]52;c;!<ESC>\
-
-Here ``!`` is not valid base64 encoded text, so it clears the clipboard.
-
-In case you're using software that can't be easily adapted to this
-protocol extension, it can be disabled by specifying ``no-append`` to the
-:opt:`clipboard_control` setting.

+================================
+
+|kitty| supports colored and styled (wavy) underlines. This is of particular

+Unscrolling the screen
+========================
+
+This is a small extension to the `SD (Pan up) escape code
+<https://vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/SD.html>`_ from the VT-420 terminal. The
+``SD`` escape code normally causes the text on screen to scroll down by the
+specified number of lines, with empty lines appearing at the top of the screen.
+This extension allows the new lines to be filled in from the scrollback buffer
+instead of being blank.
+
+The motivation for this is that many modern shells will show completions in a
+block of lines under the cursor, this causes some of the on-screen text to be
+lost even after the completion is completed, because it has scrolled off
+screen. This escape code allows that text to be restored.
+
+If the scrollback buffer is empty or there is no scrollback buffer, such as for
+the alternate screen, then the newly inserted lines must be empty, just as with
+the original ``SD`` escape code. The maximum number of lines that can be
+scrolled down is implementation defined, but must be at least one screen worth.
+
+The syntax of the escape code is identical to that of ``SD`` except that it has
+a trailing ``+`` modifier. This is legal under the `ECMA 48 standard
+<https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-48/>`_
