I really love the following things that I can do with kitty: - Access the scrollback buffer in neovim - Access the last command output in neovim - Animated cursor trails. It sounds dumb at first but I find that when sharing my screen, the cursor trails help other people keep track of my cursor when using neovim. Here are my configs to quickly load @screen_scrollback or @last_cmd_output in neovim map kitty_mod+z launch --stdin-source=@screen_scrollback --type=overlay /bin/zsh -c "nvim +$ +'nnoremap q ZQ'" map kitty_mod+v launch --stdin-source=@last_cmd_output --type=overlay /bin/zsh -c "nvim +$ +'nnoremap q ZQ'"

Gotta give a shoutout regarding Ghostty [1]. I keep switching terminal apps; I'm on an iTerm2 kick right now… but I used Ghostty for a while and it's pretty damn cool. Anecdotally, it feels the fastest to me. Also GPU-accelerated and super configurable. It's amazing how a guy (Mitchell Hashimoto)[2] leaves the company he co-founded before it was sold to IBM.

  Can ghostty pipe the scrollback buffer to nvim?

  Ghostty has nicer UX but there's certain features that Kitty has that Ghostty doesn't that I really like to use.
