|kitty| has a framework for easily creating terminal programs that make use of
its advanced features. These programs are called kittens. They are used both to
add features to |kitty| itself and to create useful standalone programs.
Some prominent kittens:
:doc:`icat <kittens/icat>`
Display images in the terminal
:doc:`diff <kittens/diff>`
A fast, side-by-side diff for the terminal with syntax highlighting and
images
:doc:`Unicode input <kittens/unicode_input>`
Easily input arbitrary Unicode characters in |kitty| by name or hex code.
:doc:`Hints <kittens/hints>`
Select and open/paste/insert arbitrary text snippets such as URLs,
filenames, words, lines, etc. from the terminal screen.
:doc:`Remote file <kittens/remote_file>`
Edit, open, or download remote files over SSH easily, by simply clicking on
the filename.
:doc:`Transfer files <kittens/transfer>`
Transfer files and directories seamlessly and easily from remote machines
over your existing SSH sessions with a simple command.
:doc:`Hyperlinked grep <kittens/hyperlinked_grep>`
Search your files using `ripgrep <https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep>`__
and open the results directly in your favorite editor in the terminal,
at the line containing the search result, simply by clicking on the result
you want.
:doc:`Broadcast <kittens/broadcast>`
Type in one :term:`kitty window <window>` and have it broadcast to all (or a
subset) of other :term:`kitty windows <window>`.
:doc:`SSH <kittens/ssh>`
SSH with automatic :ref:`shell integration <shell_integration>`, connection
re-use for low latency and easy cloning of local shell and editor
configuration to the remote host.
:doc:`Panel <kittens/panel>`
Draw a GPU accelerated dock panel on your desktop showing the output from an
arbitrary terminal program.
:doc:`Clipboard <kittens/clipboard>`
