+# kitty
+
+Config for the [kitty](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) terminal.
+`install.sh` does not deploy this — it shells out to `pacman`,
+`sha256sum`, `hyprctl`, and `omarchy-theme-set`, so it only runs where
+Omarchy does. Apply these by hand (or symlink them, below).
+
+Two files, mirroring how kitty is set up on the Omarchy side:
+
+- `kitty.conf` — fonts, window, tabs, cursor, and platform options.
+  Ends up as one `include current-theme.conf` plus real settings; kitty's
+  own 125KB commented reference config is deliberately not checked in.
+- `current-theme.conf` — the active palette, currently **flats**.
+
+## Theming
+
+Under Omarchy, `omarchy-theme-set` regenerates the terminal palette from
+`themes/<name>/colors.toml` whenever the theme changes. Nothing does that
+here, so `current-theme.conf` is a hand translation of that same toml
+into kitty's config syntax — meaning it does **not** track edits to
+`themes/flats/colors.toml`.
+
+To switch themes, retranslate the 22 keys from another
+`themes/<name>/colors.toml`. The mapping is direct (`background` →
+`background`, `color0` → `color0`, …), with the kitty-only extras
+(borders, tab bar, marks, `cursor_text_color`, `url_color`) derived from
+`accent` and `background`.
+
+## Fonts
+
+`kitty.conf` expects **JetBrainsMono Nerd Font**:
+
+```bash
+brew install --cask font-jetbrains-mono-nerd-font
+```
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+# Symlink (config tracks the repo — recommended)
+ln -sf "$PWD/kitty/kitty.conf" ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf
+ln -sf "$PWD/kitty/current-theme.conf" ~/.config/kitty/current-theme.conf
+
+# Or copy, if you'd rather edit the live files independently
+cp kitty/*.conf ~/.config/kitty/
+```
+
+Reload a running kitty with `ctrl+cmd+,`. New windows pick up changes on
+their own.
