Terminal

The terminal is where I feel most at home. I prefer tools that are fast, keyboard-driven, and easy to customize.

Kitty

My terminal emulator of choice is Kitty . Yes, the name and cat icon won me over, but it's also genuinely fast, GPU-accelerated, and super customizable.

It works great with Neovim and supports features like:

Tabbed layouts
Graphics in the terminal
Configurable keybindings
Fast startup and rendering

Kitty Keybindings

Shortcut	Action
`kitty_mod + e`	Open new split window
`kitty_mod + t`	Open new tab

`kitty_mod + enter`	pen new split window

config

I don’t customize Kitty much. I use the MesloLGM Nerd Font to support icons, hide the border, and enable transparency. I also use a custom theme.

My kitty config can be found here

Appearance

Font: MesloLGM Nerd Font
Opacity: background_opacity 0.9
Logo: Custom transparent logo: /path/to/logo.png

`Super + Down`	Unmaximize / Restore tiled window
`Alt + F8`	Resize window with arrow keys
`Alt + Space`	Window menu (move, resize, etc.)

I use nvim as my default terminal editor.

Starship

I use Starship to make my prompt clean, informative, and cat-friendly.

It gives me:

Git integration
Current directory, language versions, etc.
A beautiful, minimal style

And of course it includes a cat icon.

Zsh

I use Zsh because it’s highly configurable and offers smart completion, syntax highlighting, and autosuggestions. It's a joy to use once it’s tuned right.

Config

Find my .zshrc config here

keybinds

Fuzzy finder-fzf ctrl+r: search history ctrl+t: search files alt+c: search directories
In fzf I use ctrl+j and k to navigate up and down and ctrl+l to accept a line.
In fzf-tab I do the same use ctrl+j and k to navigate up and down and ctrl+l to accept a line.
For auto suggestion I use ctrl+l to accept.
ctrl+j or ctrl+m: accept-line (like pressing Enter)
ctrl+g: clear screen

Aliases

lg: open lazygit
multipull: git pull from multiple directories
terminaldoom: play Doom in the terminal, why? because every terminal needs Doom.

Terminal Tools

These are some of the tools I use regularly in the terminal:

git : for version control and collaborating across projects
glow : to preview Markdown directly in the terminal
fzf : fuzzy finder for quick file and history navigation
batcat : a better cat with syntax highlighting and line numbers
lazygit : a TUI for Git that’s simple and powerful
Yazi — Terminal file manager with fast navigation and image previews.
hollywood - to look like a hacker

These tools help me move fast, automate tasks, and stay in flow.
