-Changing defaults for packages

-If you are packaging it a few of these might need to be changed.
-
-update-checking
-   |kitty| has its own update check mechanism, if you would like to turn
-   it off for your package, use::
-
-       ./setup.py linux-package --update-check-interval=0
-
-shell-integration
-   |kitty| by default injects its :ref:`shell_integration` code into the user's
-   shell using environment variables or (for bash only) modifying
-   the user's :file:`~/.bashrc` file.
-   For a package, it might make more sense to distribute the shell
-   integration scripts into the system-wide shell vendor locations. The
-   shell integration files are found in the :file:`shell-integration`
-   directory. Copy them to the system wide shell vendor locations for each
-   shell, and use::
-
-       ./setup.py linux-package --shell-integration=enabled\ no-rc
-
-   This will prevent kitty from modifying the user's shell environment to load
-   the integration scripts.

+   Automatic shell integration, file transfer and reuse of connections
+
+The ssh kitten allows you to login easily to remote hosts, and automatically
+setup the environment there to be as comfortable as your local shell. You can
+specify environment variables to set on the remote host and files to copy there,
+making your remote experience just like your local shell. Additionally, it
+automatically sets up :ref:`shell_integration` on the remote host and copies the
+kitty terminfo database there.
+
+The ssh kitten is a thin wrapper around the traditional `ssh <https://man.openbsd.org/ssh>`__
+command line program and supports all the same options and arguments and configuration.
+In interactive usage scenarios it is a drop in replacement for :program:`ssh`.
+To try it out, simply run:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    kitty +kitten ssh some-hostname-to-connect-to
+
+You should end up at a shell prompt on the remote host, with shell integration
+enabled. If you like it you can add an alias to it in your shell's rc files:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    alias s="kitty +kitten ssh"
+
+So now you can just type ``s hostname`` to connect.
+
+If you define a mapping in :file:`kitty.conf` such as::
+
+    map f1 new_window_with_cwd
+
+Then, pressing :kbd:`F1` will open a new window automatically logged into the
+same host using the ssh kitten, at the same directory.
+
+The ssh kitten can be configured using the :file:`~/.config/kitty/ssh.conf` file
+where you can specify environment variables to set on the remote host and files
+to copy from the local to the remote host. Let's see a quick example:
+
+.. code-block:: conf
+
+   # Copy the files and directories needed to setup some common tools
+   copy .zshrc .vimrc .vim
+   # Setup some environment variables
+   env SOME_VAR=x
+   # COPIED_VAR will have the same value on the remote host as it does locally
+   env COPIED_VAR=_kitty_copy_env_var_
+
+   # Create some per hostname settings
+   hostname someserver-*
+   copy env-files
+   env SOMETHING=else
+
+   hostname someuser@somehost
+   copy --dest=foo/bar some-file
+   copy --glob some/files.*
+
+
+See below for full details on the syntax and options of :file:`ssh.conf`.
+Additionally, you can pass config options on the command line:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   kitty +kitten ssh --kitten interpreter=python servername
+
+The :code:`--kitten` argument can be specified multiple times, with directives
+from :file:`ssh.conf`. These are merged with :file:`ssh.conf` as if they were
+appended to the end of that file. They apply only to the host being SSHed to by
+this invocation, so any :opt:`hostname <kitten-ssh.hostname>` directives are
+ignored.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Due to limitations in the design of SSH, any typing you do before the
+   shell prompt appears may be lost. So ideally don't start typing till you see
+   the shell prompt. 😇
+
+
+.. _real_world_ssh_kitten_config:
+
+A real world example
+----------------------
+
+Suppose you often SSH into a production server, and you would like to setup
+your shell and editor there using your custom settings. However, other people
+could SSH in as well and you don't want to clobber their settings. Here is how
+this could be achieved using the ssh kitten with :program:`zsh` and
+:program:`vim` as the shell and editor, respectively:
+
+.. code-block:: conf
+
+   # Have these settings apply to servers in my organization
+   hostname myserver-*
+
+   # Setup zsh to read its files from my-conf/zsh
+   env ZDOTDIR $HOME/my-conf/zsh
+   copy --dest my-conf/zsh/.zshrc .zshrc
+   copy --dest my-conf/zsh/.zshenv .zshenv
+   # If you use other zsh init files add them in a similar manner
+
+   # Setup vim to read its config from my-conf/vim
+   env VIMINIT $HOME/my-conf/vim/vimrc
+   env VIMRUNTIME $HOME/my-conf/vim
+   copy --dest my-conf/vim .vim
+   copy --dest my-conf/vim/vimrc .vimrc
+
+
+How it works
+----------------
+
+The ssh kitten works by having SSH transmit and execute a POSIX sh (or
+:opt:`optionally <kitten-ssh.interpreter>` Python) bootstrap script on the
+remote host using an :opt:`interpreter <kitten-ssh.interpreter>`. This script
+reads setup data over the TTY device, which kitty sends as a Base64 encoded
+compressed tarball. The script extracts it and places the :opt:`files <kitten-ssh.copy>`
+and sets the :opt:`environment variables <kitten-ssh.env>` before finally
+launching the :opt:`login shell <kitten-ssh.login_shell>` with :opt:`shell
+integration <kitten-ssh.shell_integration>` enabled. The data is requested by
+the kitten over the TTY with a random one time password. kitty reads the request
+and if the password matches a password pre-stored in shared memory on the
+localhost by the kitten, the transmission is allowed. If your local
+`OpenSSH <https://www.openssh.com/>`__ version is >= 8.4 then the data is
+transmitted instantly without any roundtrip delay.
+
+.. note::
+
+   When connecting to BSD hosts, it is possible the bootstrap script will fail
+   or run slowly, because the default shells are crippled in various ways.
+   Your best bet is to install Python on the remote, make sure the login shell
+   is something POSIX sh compliant, and use :code:`python` as the
+   :opt:`interpreter <kitten-ssh.interpreter>` in :file:`ssh.conf`.
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   This may or may not work when using terminal multiplexers, depending on
+   whether they passthrough the escape codes and if the values of the
+   environment variables :envvar:`KITTY_PID` and :envvar:`KITTY_WINDOW_ID` are
+   correct in the current session (they can be wrong when connecting to a tmux
+   session running in a different window) and the ssh kitten is run in the

+Scripting the opening of files with kitty on macOS
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+On macOS you can use :guilabel:`Open With` in Finder or drag and drop files and
+URLs onto the kitty dock icon to open them with kitty. The default actions are:
+
+* Open text files in your editor and images using the icat kitten.
+* Run shell scripts in a shell
+* Open SSH urls using the ssh command
+
+These actions can also be executed from the command line by running::
+
+    kitty +open file_or_url another_url ...
+
+    # macOS only
+    open -a kitty.app file_or_url another_url ...
+
+Since macOS lacks an official interface to set default URL scheme handlers,
+kitty has a command you can use for it. The first argument for is the URL
+scheme, and the second optional argument is the bundle id of the app, which
+defaults to kitty, if not specified. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    # Set kitty as the handler for ssh:// URLs
+    kitty +runpy 'from kitty.fast_data_types import cocoa_set_url_handler; import sys; cocoa_set_url_handler(*sys.argv[1:]); print("OK")' ssh
+    # Set someapp as the handler for xyz:// URLs
+    kitty +runpy 'from kitty.fast_data_types import cocoa_set_url_handler; import sys; cocoa_set_url_handler(*sys.argv[1:]); print("OK")' xyz someapp.bundle.identifier
+
+You can customize these actions by creating a :file:`launch-actions.conf` file
+in the :ref:`kitty config directory <confloc>`, just like the
+:file:`open-actions.conf` file above. For example:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../kitty/open_actions.py

+
+
+Fine grained permissions for remote control
+----------------------------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 0.26.0
+
+The :opt:`allow_remote_control` option discussed so far is a blunt
+instrument, granting the ability to any program running on your computer
+or even on remote computers via SSH the ability to use remote control.
+
+You can instead define remote control passwords that can be used to grant
+different levels of control to different places. You can even write your
+own script to decide which remote control requests are allowed. This is
+done using the :opt:`remote_control_password` option in :file:`kitty.conf`.
+Set :opt:`allow_remote_control` to :code:`password` to use this feature.
+Let's see some examples:
+
+.. code-block:: conf
+
+   remote_control_password "control colors" get-colors set-colors
+
+Now, using this password, you can, in scripts run the command::
+
+    kitty @ --password="control colors" set-colors background=red
+
+Any script with access to the password can now change colors in kitty using
+remote control, but only that and nothing else. You can even supply the
+password via the :envvar:`KITTY_RC_PASSWORD` environment variable, or the
+file :file:`~/.config/kitty/rc-password` to avoid having to type it repeatedly.
+See :option:`kitty @ --password-file` and :option:`kitty @ --password-env`.
+
+The :opt:`remote_control_password` can be specified multiple times to create
+different passwords with different capabilities. Run the following to get a
+list of all action names::
+
+    kitty @ --help
+
+You can even use glob patterns to match action names, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: conf
+
+   remote_control_password "control colors" *-colors
+
+If no action names are specified, all actions are allowed.
+
+If ``kitty @`` is run with a password that is not present in
+:file:`kitty.conf`, then kitty will interactively prompt the user to allow or
+disallow the remote control request. The user can choose to allow or disallow
+either just that request or all requests using that password. The user's
+decision is remembered for the duration of that kitty instance.
+
+.. note::
+   For password based authentication to work over SSH, you must pass the
+   :envvar:`KITTY_PUBLIC_KEY` environment variable to the remote host. The
+   :doc:`ssh kitten <kittens/ssh>` does this for you automatically. When
+   using a password, :ref:`rc_crypto` is used to ensure the password
+   is kept secure. This does mean that using password based authentication
+   is slower as the entire command is encrypted before transmission. This
+   can be noticeable when using a command like ``kitty @ set-background-image``
+   which transmits large amounts of image data. Also, the clock on the remote
+   system must match (within a few minutes) the clock on the local system.
+   kitty uses a time based nonce to minimise the potential for replay attacks.
+
+.. _rc_custom_auth:
+
+Customizing authorization with your own program
+____________________________________________________________
+
+If the ability to control access by action names is not fine grained enough,
+you can define your own Python script to examine every remote control command
+and allow/disallow it. To do so create a file in the kitty configuration
+directory, :file:`~/.config/kitty/my_rc_auth.py` and add the following
+to :file:`kitty.conf`:
+
+.. code-block:: conf
+
+    remote_control_password "testing custom auth" my_rc_auth.py
+
+:file:`my_rc_auth.py` should define a :code:`is_cmd_allowed` function
+as shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: py
+
+    def is_cmd_allowed(pcmd, window, from_socket, extra_data):
+        cmd_name = pcmd['cmd']  # the name of the command
+        cmd_payload = pcmd['payload']  # the arguments to the command
+        # examine the cmd_name and cmd_payload and return True to allow
+        # the command or False to disallow it. Return None to have no
+        # effect on the command.
+
+        # The command payload will vary from command to command, see
+        # the rc protocol docs for details. Below is an example of
+        # restricting the launch command to allow only running the
+        # default shell.
+
+        if cmd_name != 'launch':
+            return None
+        if cmd_payload.get('args') or cmd_payload.get('env') or cmd_payload.get('copy_cmdline') or cmd_payload.get('copy_env'):

+Shell integration over SSH
+----------------------------
+
+The easiest way to have shell integration work when SSHing into remote systems
+is to use the :doc:`ssh kitten <kittens/ssh>`. Simply run::
+
+    kitty +kitten ssh hostname
+
+And, by magic, you will be logged into the remote system with fully functional
+shell integration. Alternately, you can :ref:`setup shell integration manually
+<manual_shell_integration>`, by copying the kitty shell integration scripts to
+the remote server and editing the shell rc files there, as described below.
+
+
+.. _clone_shell:
+
+Clone the current shell into a new window
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+You can clone the current shell into a new kitty window by simply running the
+:command:`clone-in-kitty` command, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    clone-in-kitty
+    clone-in-kitty --type=tab
+    clone-in-kitty --title "I am a clone"
+
+This will open a new window running a new shell instance but with all
+environment variables and the current working directory copied. This even works
+over SSH when using :doc:`kittens/ssh`.
+
+The :command:`clone-in-kitty` command takes almost all the same arguments as the
+:doc:`launch <launch>` command, so you can open a new tab instead or a new OS
+window, etc. Arguments of launch that can cause code execution or that don't
+make sense when cloning are ignored. Most prominently, the following options are
+ignored: :option:`--allow-remote-control <launch --allow-remote-control>`,
+:option:`--copy-cmdline <launch --copy-cmdline>`, :option:`--copy-env <launch
+--copy-env>`, :option:`--stdin-source <launch --stdin-source>`,
+:option:`--marker <launch --marker>` and :option:`--watcher <launch --watcher>`.
+
+:command:`clone-in-kitty` can be configured to source arbitrary code in the
+cloned window using environment variables. It will automatically clone virtual
+environments created by the :link:`Python venv module
+<https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html>` or :link:`Conda
+<https://conda.io/>`. In addition, setting the
+env var :envvar:`KITTY_CLONE_SOURCE_CODE` to some shell code will cause that
+code to be run in the cloned window with :code:`eval`. Similarly, setting
+:envvar:`KITTY_CLONE_SOURCE_PATH` to the path of a file will cause that file to
+be sourced in the cloned window. This can be controlled by
+:opt:`clone_source_strategies`.
+
+:command:`clone-in-kitty` works by asking the shell to serialize its internal
+state (mainly CWD and env vars) and this state is transmitted to kitty and
+restored by the shell integration scripts in the cloned window.
+
+
+.. _edit_file:
+
+Edit files in new kitty windows even over SSH
+------------------------------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   edit-in-kitty myfile.txt
+   edit-in-kitty --type tab --title "Editing My File" myfile.txt
+   # open myfile.txt at line 75 (works with vim, neovim, emacs, nano, micro)
+   edit-in-kitty +75 myfile.txt
+
+The :command:`edit-in-kitty` command allows you to seamlessly edit files
+in your default :opt:`editor` in new kitty windows. This works even over
+SSH (if you use the :doc:`ssh kitten <kittens/ssh>`), allowing you
+to easily edit remote files in your local editor with all its bells and
+whistles.
+
+The :command:`edit-in-kitty` command takes almost all the same arguments as the
+:doc:`launch <launch>` command, so you can open a new tab instead or a new OS
+window, etc. Not all arguments are supported, see the discussion in the
+:ref:`clone_shell` section above.
+
+In order to avoid remote code execution, kitty will only execute the configured
+editor and pass the file path to edit to it.
