Little Kitty

A low-level Rust interface for the Kitty graphics protocol.

Terminals that support it include::

• Ghostty
• iTerm2
• Kitty (duh!)
• Konsole
• Warp
• Wayst
• WezTerm
• xterm.js

Little Kitty supports both sprite (standard) and Unicode placeholder modes.

It also automatically uses tmux passthrough mode if it detects that it’s in a tmux session. However, note that this feature is not enabled by default in tmux. To enable it from the terminal:

tmux set -g allow-passthrough on

Or add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

set -g allow-passthrough on

Check out the examples.

For a fuller example of usage see cursive-image.
