Manage kitty windows similarly to tmux sessions.

Usage

1. Copy start_session.py to ~/.config/kitty/

   curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muchzill4/kitty-session/master/start_session.py > ~/.config/kitty/start_session.py
   

2. Create kitty session files in a directory of your choice

3. In kitty.conf

   map key kitten start_session.py "path/to/directory/with/sessions"
   

An alternative approach

FWIW I no longer use this script as I have found, that window management in MacOS'n'kitty makes it hard to achieve tmux-like session flow. Do not despair! I've been exploring an alternative approach with reasonable success. Inspired by ThePrimagean's tmux flow, I now treat each kitty tab as "session". The "session management" is very light weight:

1. Press <bind> in kitty to bring up a list of projects in fzf
2. Confirm project selection.
3. 1. If a kitty tab with given project is already available, focus it.
   2. If a kitty tab with selected project isn't already available, create it and cd into directory.

Since I use fish, here's a fish function that is bound in kitty:

map cmd+p launch --type=tab --allow-remote-control fish -c kt

If I have to manage many processes in a "session", I will split the window and use stack layout to full screen the window I need to focus on:

map cmd+z toggle_layout stack
