Starting a new kitty process is quite slow. With --single-instance "new
invocations will instead create a new top-level window in the existing
kitty instance"[^1] to allow "kitty to share a single sprite cache on
the GPU"[^1], so that startup is almost instant.
For this to work best, launch one hidden "daemon" instance at startup so
that the kitty process is always running, even when no OS windows
exists.

I'm not a big fan of the standard blue that kitty ships with. Instead of
switching it's colors to my usual choice of Tango Dark, I want to adjust
the colors where they are used to theoretically make the terminal
experience a bit more terminal-agnostic.
SteelBlue3 (68) looks pretty to close to the blue I'm used to.
Except for the font and color scheme. I'm feeling experimental and
surprisingly like what kitty configured per default. Will see, if it
stays like this.
I like that the percentage does not move when I press mute, so I want to
keep the alignment, but the percentage is too far away for my taste with
the previous two spaces when unmuted.
Previously when the program name had a trailing slash, `conf` would not
find the right file as it would check for filenames that include a slash
(e.g. `prog/rc`). This was especially annoying, since conf's completion
function inserts a slash automatically when subdirectories exists.
Use tmux popup windows for fzf in vim, so that it spans (almost) the
full tmux window. My use-case for this is, that sometimes I open fzf in
a split pane and notice then that the lines are too long for the width
of the pane. Since the fzf window won't resize if I resize the pane
(TODO: issue in fzf.vim), I have to first close it, resize and then
reopen fzf. I hope to fix this by using always the big tmux popup and
eliminating the need to resize at all. The issue remains when vim is in
a split window outside of tmux. I can imagine that this will become
annoying, but we'll see...
The value of 25 is orientated at my key repeat rate of 50 (see xinitrc).
This way the message comes fairly quick while not refreshing on every
character when keeping a navigation key pressed.
Ubuntu 22.04 is shipped with 3.2a... There might be more issues with
that version, but these were the ones I could find for now.
Tmux commits needed:
- c03b57465bdf/866117636e47 ("Add different command historys for
different types of prompts ("command", "search" etc). From Anindya
Mukherjee.") for `prompt-history-limit`
- e06a4e041c68 ("Set mouse_x and mouse_y on the status line, GitHub
issue 2913.") for mouse_x in MouseDragEnd1StatusDefault binding
- 9f6164a05cc0 ("Make send-keys without any arguments send the key it is
bound to (if any). GitHub issue 2904.") for `C-d`, `Enter` bindings
The hook was never added since the `functions` array was misspelled. I
fixed that and left it turned on the last few days and absolutely hate
it. No idea why I ever thought that this could be nice.
It was moved back in 020b39887e ("gpg,git: Move gpg.loopback into
PATH"), because git had problems with the "dynamic" path of HOME. I like
to have everything at one place though (And I searched for this script
in the wrong place, just now).
