Kitty - anonymous.dev Docs

Kitty is a fast, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator. Rig configures it with a minimal warm dark theme and keyboard-driven tab navigation.

Theme

The color scheme is loaded from a separate ghosty.conf file — a warm, muted dark palette:

Element	Color
Background	`#1c1b1a`
Foreground	`#c8c2b8`
Cursor	`#b5b0a8` (block style)

The palette uses warm desaturated tones — rose, sage green, gold, steel blue, lavender, and teal.

UI Settings

Setting	Value
Font size	13.5pt
Audio bell	Disabled
Visual bell	Window alert and Dock badge
Bell command	`~/.config/kitty/on-bell-notify.sh`
Remote control	Socket only (`unix:/tmp/kitty-{kitty_pid}`)
Tab bar position	Top
Tab bar style	Separator (space-separated)
Tab title max length	20 characters
Tab bar min tabs	1 (always visible)

Tab colors

State	Foreground	Background
Active	`#e0dbd2`	`#3a3835`
Inactive	`#807a72`	`#252422`
Bar background	`#1c1b1a`

Shortcut	Action
`Ctrl + Alt + h`	Previous tab
`Ctrl + Alt + l`	Next tab
`Ctrl + Alt + 1-9`	Go to tab 1-9
`Ctrl + Alt + Shift + h`	Move tab backward
`Ctrl + Alt + Shift + l`	Move tab forward

Window & Tab Creation

Shortcut	Action
`Cmd + t` / `kitty_mod + t`	New tab (current directory)
`Cmd + n` / `kitty_mod + n`	New OS window (current directory)

New tabs and windows inherit the working directory of the current tab.

Disabled Defaults

Several default Kitty bindings are disabled (no_op) to avoid conflicts with other tools: kitty_mod+enter, cmd+enter, kitty_mod+], kitty_mod+[, kitty_mod+f, kitty_mod+b, kitty_mod+backtick, kitty_mod+r
