Familiar Kitty. Windows specifics.
Kitsu is an independent Windows fork of Kitty. These guides cover what’s different on Windows. For shared configuration, key bindings, kittens, and protocols, use the upstream Kitty documentation.
When an upstream example launches kitty, use kitsu on Windows. Configuration keys, kitty.conf, and the kitten helper keep their names.
