About kitty
kitty renders the terminal on the GPU using SIMD-accelerated parsing, supporting tabs, split windows, ligatures, true colour and its own graphics protocol for displaying images inline. Small programs called kittens extend it with things like diffing, SSH integration and unicode input.
Strengths
- Inline image display through its own graphics protocol
- Kittens add diffing, hints, remote control and SSH integration
Limitations
- No Windows build
- Configuration is a text file with no graphical settings
