No, by spectacle as a .webp file
Ahhhh thanks. I always forget Spectacle can do some clever stuff.
As soon as you try searching in the terminal in kitty, you’ll start to regret konsole ![]()
To some it’s eye-candy, to me it’s of no use that the text output is being animated. In contrast to that, it would even distract me.
I do use kitty exclusively with several windows being opened constantly. And the fish shell in combination with the tide prompt is already quite nice.
I think this is more a thing of the shell itswlf, instead of the programm. Searching in Konsole with bash is way less cool than searching in konsole with fish.
I was taliking about searching in Konsole is easy: you get the menu, the toolbar button, or the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F. In Kitty, you must first get to know how to enable the search functionality and then you need to use vi-based search (and then remember to exit the “search” mode).
I’m not a power terminal user. Nor am I a programmer or coder or whatever you want to call it.
Again, I actually use konsole because I’m used to it. I only found out about kitty and the settings through the article.. And yes, i like some kind of eye-candy-stuff ![]()
As I said, I mainly work with konsole because I’m used to it. And because of the possibilities of using a menu ![]()
OT: Thanks to you, I discovered and tried this feature today!
Always enjoying something shiny, I started using Kitty a year or so back, and also flirted with Ghostty.
The biggest differences for someone new is the Config vs GUI. Konsole has many more advanced and user friendly options - looking here at splits and tabs and stuff, and Kitty suffers from bloated cross-platform configuration that needs plenty more editing to get it manageable.
In the end, I have very similar shortcuts for Kitty and Konsole now.
I love that with Konsole, I have a keyboard shortcut CtrlShiftO that copies the command output…
Then there’s the context menu web search…
But Kitty’s nicer and tidier when using panes inside the terminal (called Windows in kitty, but having a tidier border rather than Konsole’s slightly clunky window borders to carry the extra, albeit useful, icons).
Overall Konsole is the King - but Kitty is cute too.
Something else I found out yesterday looking at some toml theme files, Konsole respects blinking - Kitty ignores it - so I enabled a theme where ‘comments’ were marked as dim grey, and slow_blink… It looked great until I opened that in Konsole and all the comments in the config were flashing at me.
