Kitty terminal

IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS: [iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/) [Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) [WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html) [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty) - [Ligatures](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#fira-code-monospaced-font-with-programming-ligatures). - [Hyperlinks](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/hyperlinks.html) - [Searchable Scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/scrollback.html) (use mouse wheel and `Shift-PageUp` and `Shift PageDown` to navigate, Ctrl-Shift-F to activate search mode) - xterm style selection of text with mouse; paste selection via `Shift-Insert` (bracketed paste is supported!) - SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux) - Render underline, double-underline, italic, bold, strikethrough (most other terminal emulators do not support as many render attributes) - Configuration via a [configuration file](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html) with hot reloading - Multiple Windows (Hotkey: `Super-N`) - Splits/Panes (Split horizontally/vertically: `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-%` and `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-"`, move between panes: `Ctrl-Shift-ArrowKey`) - Tabs (Hotkey: `Super-T`, next/prev: `Super-Shift-[` and `Super-Shift-]`, go-to: `Super-[1-9]`) - [SSH client with native tabs](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ssh.html) - [Connect to serial ports for embedded/Arduino work](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/serial.html) - Connect to a local multiplexer server over unix domain sockets - Connect to a remote multiplexer using SSH or TLS over TCP/IP - iTerm2 compatible image protocol support, and built-in [imgcat command](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/imgcat.html) - Kitty graphics support - Sixel graphics support (experimental: starting in `20200620-160318-e00b076c`).
