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.

Page Source What it covers
kitty dot_config/kitty/ Main config, host configs (tmux, herdr, goliath), kittens, custom tab bar
Ghostty dot_config/ghostty/ Config, herdr key sync, themes
tmux dot_config/tmux/ Prefix, bindings, tpm plugins, dotbar status line, Niri titles
herdr dot_config/herdr/, dot_config/herdr-nvim/ Agent-aware multiplexer: keys, theme, plugins, Claude hook

Shared conventions

  • Font: VictorMono Nerd Font everywhere.
  • Background opacity 0.9, no window decorations; the compositor provides blur.
  • Prefix ctrl+b in tmux and herdr. kitty and Ghostty translate chords into the prefix byte \x02 plus a key, so the same physical shortcut works across hosts.
  • ctrl+h/j/k/l moves between panes across nvim, kitty, tmux, and herdr (vim-aware handoff at every layer).
