+  set the font size and let FreeType take care of it. This matches
+  rendering on macOS (:iss:`4707`)
+
+- macOS: Fix a regression in the previous release that broke switching input
+  sources by keyboard (:iss:`4621`)
+

+In interactive usage scenarios it is a drop in replacement for ``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 zsh and 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 OpenSSH 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`.
