# terminfo for kitty

I *really* shouldn't have to distribute a terminal capability db (`terminfo(5)`) for
[kitty](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/), but older systems don't ship kitty, and kitty *really* wants its own
`terminfo(5)`. And I *really* want to use kitty.

Kitty has a builtin function to handle this as well, `kitty +kitten ssh`, but I don't really like the thought of kitty
manually depositing these files in my various systems, so I find it better to just distribute it myself.

The file (`.terminfo/x/xterm-kitty`) is just stolen (aka copied) from a system with an updated version of kitty.
Typically it is located in `/usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-kitty` or `/usr/local/share/terminfo/x/xterm-kitty`, but I
suppose it could also just be grabbed from [the source](https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/tree/master/terminfo/x).

## Deprecation

I've mostly moved on to [WezTerm](https://wezterm.org/), which is quite happy with `xterm-256color`. Therefore these
files are no longer necessary, and will be removed at some point.
