Is there any easy way to add an overlay to Multi-key mappings?

Hi everyone. I really like the way you can do multi-key mappings like ctrl+shift+p>f for functionality I don't use that often. However then I tend to forget which keys to press after the ctrl+shift+p.

So I was wondering if there is an easy way to do something like the inbuilt window resizing ctrl+shift+r which creates a kind of overlay that tells you what to do.

From what I've read I could probably build a kitten in python to do this (or even just using the remote control functionality) but that seems kind of complicated for what I'm trying to do so I'm hoping there's a easier way.

'kitty @ ls' no longer gives information about Sessions?

I saw in this video that Kitty exposes information about sessions using kitty @ ls.

I also found this github issue about the topic.

Yet on my machine (kitty 0.46.2) I don't see that entry anywhere. I could have sworn that I tried this a while back and it did display session information, but for whatever reason now it doesn't.

I'm trying to work on a sessionizer type tool for kitty and this is essential for that purpose. Does anyone know what happened/what mistake I am making?

Customize borders

Hello, I'm new using Kitty. Does anyone know (I guess so) how to customize those borders? Don't make them so square or change their color.

Day/Night mode detection

I am working on a simple not so simple script to change the theme of an app based on the OS theme

I use KDE plasma 6.x so i have the day/night cycle, i know that KDE uses knighttimed to manage the day/night switch, but it doesn't have a d-bus api (to my knowledge) and it doesn't set an environment variable related to the current OS mode (day/night)

I use kitty terminal and I know that it can detect the OS theme to apply a specific theme, I know how the `kitten theme` works, but I want to know the logic to how does kitty know when to switch the theme

if there is any other/better way to detect the current mode tell me

GNU unicode characters are very wide spaced in kitty, how do I solve this?

I installed all the fonts for all the languages form the unicode gnu font page. In installed the font system wide and using kde setting it works good and display all the Japanese and Korean characters. Selecting the base unifont with kitten choose-font gives me this result.

update

I managed to do an hard fix by going to the kitty conf using CTRL + SHIFT + F2, selecting font with space and going down to the line 165 to uncomment the modify_font cell_width and setting it to 50%. Now it displays nice and it also uses it as a fallback for the Japanese characters
