kitty-scrollback.nvim v5.0.0 is officially released! Check out the announcement here

What is kitty-scrollback.nvim?

A Neovim plugin (and Kitty Kitten) that allows you to navigate your Kitty scrollback buffer to quickly search, copy, and execute commands in Neovim.

demo

Check out the README for detailed information, the Wiki for additional configurations, and Advanced Configuration Examples for more demos!

What changed?

See Migrating to v5.0.0 for the detailed migration guide.

kitty-scrollback.nvim v5.0.0 uses Kitty's builtin --bracketed-paste option when sending commands to Kitty. The --bracketed-paste option was added in Kitty 0.32.2. If you are using an older version of Kitty, then upgrade to the latest version or at least 0.32.2.
Alternatively, if you are unable to upgrade Kitty, then you can still use tag v4.3.6 of kitty-scrollback.nvim.
See kitten-send-text for more information on the --bracketed-paste option.

Other minor version updates

Added experimental tmux support in v4.0.3! See tmux (🧪 experimental ) for setup instructions.
A handful of bug fixes and smaller features, see the CHANGELOG for more information.

What's next?

The next feature I plan to work on is adding command-line editing support (see #253). I also plan to complete the work necessary to move tmux support from experimental to stable.

If you have any questions, comments, or feedback feel free to create an issue or open a discussion.

Thanks! No problem, let me know if you hit any other issues. It always gets tricky with the number of different configurations people have 😅

Check out Advanced Configuration Examples for more demos!

What changed?

See Migrating to v4.0.0 for the detailed migration guide.

Previously, kitty-scrollback.nvim did not open Neovim with your Neovim configuration by default. This has changed to loading your Neovim configuration by default, with the ability to opt out. If you prefer to continue not loading your Neovim configuration, then follow the steps at No Configuration.
If you previously used the flag --no-nvim-args, then delete it from your configuration because it no longer has any effect. The flag --nvim-args remains unchanged and can still be used.
ksb_example configurations have been removed and can no longer be referenced by name. If you were previously referencing an example configuration by name, then you can manually copy it from ./tests/example.lua into your kitty-scrollback.nvim configuration. See Plugin Configuration for detailed instructions on configuration kitty-scrollback.nvim.
The command KittyScrollbackGenerateKittens and api generate_kittens no longer have an option to generate ksb_example configurations.
- The command KittyScrollbackGenerateKittens no longer accepts the bang ! modifier
- The api generate_kittens signature removed the all parameter
The reserved global configuration name has been removed and global options are now configured by the first element of the options table without a key. See Global Configuration for more details.
The undocumented reserved default configuration name has been removed. kitty-scrollback.nvim defaults to ksb_builtin_get_text_all if no configuration is provided.

Other minor version updates

You can now paste and execute commands directly from visual mode! Previously, this could only be done with the paste window that is used for editing commands. Check out the demos in the Features section.

kitty_scrollback_screencapture_03_should_paste_visual_selection_to_kitty

The environment variable KITTY_SCROLLBACK_NVIM was added and is set to true while kitty-scrollback.nvim is active. See Environment Variables.
Documented the filetype kitty-scrollback and provided an example of using it in an autocmd. See Filetypes.

What's next?

The next feature I plan to work on is adding tmux support (see #155).

v2.2.0 adds support for Neovim v0.9

kitty-scrollback.nvim was originally written only supporting Neovm v0.10 (nightly). Thanks to community interest, I have added support for Neovim v0.9 for those that prefer using a stable version of Neovim.

Yep you got it. Kitty is a terminal. The scrollback buffer is the screen + history of the terminal session. This plugin lets you open it with Neovim plus some extras 👍

ah I gotcha. There is no option at the moment to completely disable the scrollback, but you could hook into some callbacks to trigger and customizations.

For example,

your_awesome_config.lua

local M = {}

M.config = function(kitty_data)
  return {
    paste_window = {
      winblend = 10,
      winopts_overrides = function(paste_winopts)
        local h = vim.o.lines - 5 -- TODO: magic number 3 for footer and 2 for border
        return {
          border = 'solid',
          row = 0,
          col = 0,
          height = h &lt; 1 and 3 or h, -- TODO: magic number 3 for footer
          width = vim.o.columns,
        }
      end,
      footer_winopts_overrides = function(footer_winopts, paste_winopts)
        return {
          border = 'single',
          title = ' kitty-scrollback.nvim ',
          title_pos = 'center',
        }
      end,
    },
    kitty_get_text = {
      extent = 'screen',
      ansi = true,
    },
    callbacks = {
      after_ready = function(kitty_data, opts)
        vim.cmd.startinsert()
      end,
    },
  }
end

return M

kitty.conf

map f1 kitty_scrollback_nvim --config-file /your_awesome_config.lua

I plan to document some of the advanced configurations, just haven't had time to get to it 👍

I could add an option to have no scrollback and a single buffer like you mentioned similar to `` behavior in bash. I'll think on that one.

Thanks for the kind words 🙂

thanks! when you say launch empty, do you mean without the scrollback buffer? or just with a blank window for the command?
