<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''Kitty''' is a modern, fast, GPU-based terminal emulator written in Python and C. It leverages graphics hardware for high performance and offers features like tabs, layouts, and GPU-based rendering. Kitty is available in the NixOS ecosystem and can be configured through various methods.<ref>https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/</ref>
</div>

== Installation ==

==== Shell ====

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To temporarily use Kitty in a shell environment, you can run:
</div>
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
nix-shell -p kitty
</syntaxhighlight>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
This will provide a shell with Kitty available without adding it to your system configuration.
</div>

==== System setup ====

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
To install Kitty, add it to either the system-wide <code>environment.systemPackages</code> in <code>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</code> or to the user-specific <code>home.packages</code> in <code>~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix</code>.<ref>https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/</ref>
</div>
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
# System-wide installation (in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix)
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
kitty
];

# User-specific installation (in ~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix)
home.packages = with pkgs; [
kitty
];
</syntaxhighlight>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Then, rebuild your system or apply your Home Manager configuration:
</div>
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
# For system-wide installation
sudo nixos-rebuild switch

# For Home Manager
home-manager switch
</syntaxhighlight>

== Configuration ==

==== Basic ====

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
NixOS does not include a native module for Kitty. For basic Kitty configuration on NixOS, you need to manually follow the steps from Kitty's documentation.<ref>https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf/</ref>
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
If you're using Home Manager, you can enable Kitty with a simple configuration:
</div>
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
programs.kitty.enable = true;
</syntaxhighlight>

==== Advanced ====

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
For more advanced Home Manager configuration, you can specify various Kitty settings:
</div>
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
programs.kitty = lib.mkForce {
enable = true;
settings = {
confirm_os_window_close = 0;
dynamic_background_opacity = true;
enable_audio_bell = false;
mouse_hide_wait = "-1.0";
window_padding_width = 10;
background_opacity = "0.5";
background_blur = 5;
symbol_map = let
mappings = [
"U+23FB-U+23FE"
"U+2B58"
"U+E200-U+E2A9"
"U+E0A0-U+E0A3"
"U+E0B0-U+E0BF"
"U+E0C0-U+E0C8"
"U+E0CC-U+E0CF"
"U+E0D0-U+E0D2"
"U+E0D4"
"U+E700-U+E7C5"
"U+F000-U+F2E0"
"U+2665"
"U+26A1"
"U+F400-U+F4A8"
"U+F67C"
"U+E000-U+E00A"
"U+F300-U+F313"
"U+E5FA-U+E62B"
];
in
(builtins.concatStringsSep "," mappings) + " Symbols Nerd Font";
};
};
</syntaxhighlight>

== Tips and tricks ==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
=== Theming with Stylix ===
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
You can use [[Stylix]]<ref>https://github.com/nix-community/stylix</ref> to theme Kitty by enabling its built-in integration:<ref>https://nix-community.github.io/stylix/options/modules/kitty.html#stylixtargetskittyenable</ref>
</div>
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
stylix.targets.kitty.enable = true;
</syntaxhighlight>
