Fixes #819. Note that I have no idea whether the code works well on retina screens, might have to multiple the pixel count by the scale factor on those screens?

For a list of key names, see: :link:`GLFW keys
|
|
<http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/group__keys.html>`. The name to use is the part
|
|
after the :code:`GLFW_KEY_` prefix. For a list of modifier names, see:
|
|
:link:`GLFW mods <http://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/group__mods.html>`
|
|
|
|
On Linux you can also use XKB key names to bind keys that are not supported by
|
|
GLFW. See :link:`XKB keys
|
|
<https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/blob/master/xkbcommon/xkbcommon-keysyms.h>`
|
|
for a list of key names. The name to use is the part after the :code:`XKB_KEY_`
|
|
prefix. Note that you should only use an XKB key name for keys that are not present
|
|
in the list of GLFW keys.
|
|
|
|
You can use the special action :code:`no_op` to unmap a keyboard shortcut that is
|
|
assigned in the default configuration.
|
|
|
|
You can combine multiple actions to be triggered by a single shortcut, using the
|
|
syntax below::
|
|
|
|
map key combine <separator> action1 <separator> action2 <separator> action3 ...
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
map kitty_mod+e combine : new_window : next_layout
|
|
|
|
this will create a new window and switch to the next available layout
|
|
|
|
You can use multi-key shortcuts using the syntax shown below::
|
|
|
|
map key1>key2>key3 action
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
map ctrl+f>2 set_font_size 20

map ctrl+alt+1 goto_tab 1

map ctrl+alt+2 goto_tab 2
|

You can create shortcuts to clear/reset the terminal. For example::

|
|
|
map kitty_mod+f9 clear_terminal reset active
|
|
map kitty_mod+f10 clear_terminal clear active
|
|
map kitty_mod+f11 clear_terminal scrollback active

These will reset screen/clear screen/clear screen+scrollback respectively. If you want to

operate on all windows instead of just the current one, use :italic:`all` instead of :italic`active`.

You can tell kitty to send arbitrary (UTF-8) encoded text to
|
|
the client program when pressing specified shortcut keys. For example::
|
|
|
|
map ctrl+alt+a send_text all Special text
|
|
|
|
This will send "Special text" when you press the :kbd:`ctrl+alt+a` key
|
|
combination. The text to be sent is a python string literal so you can use
|
|
escapes like :code:`\\x1b` to send control codes or :code:`\\u21fb` to send
|
|
unicode characters (or you can just input the unicode characters directly as
|
|
UTF-8 text). The first argument to :code:`send_text` is the keyboard modes in which to
|
|
activate the shortcut. The possible values are :code:`normal` or :code:`application` or :code:`kitty`
|
|
or a comma separated combination of them. The special keyword :code:`all` means all
|
|
modes. The modes :code:`normal` and :code:`application` refer to the DECCKM cursor key mode for
|
|
terminals, and :code:`kitty` refers to the special kitty extended keyboard protocol.
|
|
|
|
Another example, that outputs a word and then moves the cursor to the start of
|
|
the line (same as pressing the Home key)::
|
|
|
|
map ctrl+alt+a send_text normal Word\\x1b[H
|
|
map ctrl+alt+a send_text application Word\\x1bOH
