The kitty remote control protocol is a simple protocol that involves sending data to kitty in the form of JSON. Any individual command of kitty has the form:
<ESC>P@kitty-cmd<JSON object><ESC>\
Where <ESC> is the byte 0x1b. The JSON object has the form:
{
"cmd": "command name",
"version": <kitty version>,
"no_response": Optional Boolean,
"payload": <Optional JSON object>,
}
The version above is an array of the form [0, 14, 2]. If you are developing a
standalone client, use the kitty version that you are developing against. Using
a version greater than the version of the kitty instance you are talking to,
will cause a failure.
Set no_response to true if you don't want a response from kitty.
The optional payload is a JSON object that is specific to the actual command being sent. The fields in the object for every command are documented below.
