Kitty is great; I want to see it succeed in pushing terminal emulators forward into the current millennium. However, I can’t use kitty at work, and I absolutely live inside of tmux. The server is where all the action is, and when I get disconnected, I want to be able to pick things up exactly where I left them. Window layout, the state of each shell and text editor, what’s in the copy buffer, scrollback, everything. I can’t give that up unless I have a suitable replacement on Windows. Until then I will continue to use tmux at work and kitty at home.

I used Kitty for a while. I was impressed that I could recreate my tmux config pretty closely.

I went back to tmux and basic terminal because it works everywhere, and composing tools is just more durable overall.

  • how do you do something like tmux sessions (not just windows) in kitty? how does switching sessions and windows work? can i connect to the same session in multiple windows? or can i manage separate windows with different sets of sessions?
