MAJOR FEATURES

Supports tiling multiple terminal windows side by side in different
layouts without needing to use an extra program like tmux

Supports all modern terminal features: graphics (images), unicode,
true-color, OpenType ligatures, mouse protocol, focus tracking,
bracketed paste and so on.

Supports startup sessions which allow you to specify the window/tab
layout, working directories and programs to run on startup.

Uses OpenGL for rendering, offloads rendering to the GPU for lower
system load and buttery smooth scrolling. Uses threaded rendering to
minimize input latency.

Cross-platform support: kitty currently works on Linux and macOS, but
because it uses only OpenGL for rendering, it should be trivial to port
to other platforms.

Allows you to open the scrollback buffer and window contents in a
separate window using arbitrary programs of your choice. This is useful
for browsing the history comfortably in a pager or editor and also for
doing things like opening URLs using only the keyboard.

Easily hackable (UI layer written in python, inner loops in C for
speed). Less than fifteen thousand lines of code.
