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.

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.

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.

• 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).
