Change default terminal to kitty

[ionstorm]

Hi! I need some help changing the default terminal to kitty.

 

I did go over another thread Change default Terminal to Hyper.is ? and I understand it's a workaround.

 

 

From what i've understood, for the best result, the application should support Applescript.

1. How do I assess if something has support for Applescript and what it has support for?

2. Where's the best resource for learning to do Applescript?

 

I'm happy to take a stab at it. All I need is for someone to point me in the right direction.

Kitty doesn't support AppleScript. You can generally assume that's the case with any cross-platform application.

Run Script Editor, then menu item File > Open Dictionary…

 

If the application isn't in the list, it doesn't support AppleScript.

This would appear to be the best place to start: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/remote-control.html

 

As that's a proper API, it should work better than Hyper or Alacritty.

Thank you so much! I think I may have just enough to give it a go. 😄

In the end, I took the script that you wrote for hyper and used it for kitty. It does exactly what I needed it to do. I'll probably come back to this if I ever wanted to do something more complex.
