Terminal
Terminal emulators and multiplexers configured by the dotfiles.
kitty is the primary terminal. It runs in three modes: plain kitty (kitty owns splits and tabs), a tmux host, and a herdr host. Ghostty is kept as a secondary terminal whose bindings drive herdr the same way.

ctrl+bin tmux and herdr. kitty and Ghostty translate chords into the prefix byte\x02plus a key, so the same physical shortcut works across hosts. ctrl+h/j/k/lmoves between panes across nvim, kitty, tmux, and herdr (vim-aware handoff at every layer).
