Usage

Windows and Tabs

Kytos uses native macOS windows and tabs. Each window and each tab is backed by a KytosWorkspace — an observable split tree of terminal panes.

• Cmd+N — new window
• Cmd+T — new tab
• Cmd+W — close tab / window

Splits

Splits are managed by KytosWorkspace's split tree model. Panes can be split horizontally or vertically.

• Cmd+D — split horizontally
• Cmd+Shift+D — split vertically
• Cmd+[ / Cmd+] — navigate between panes

Shell Integration

Kytos includes Ghostty's shell integration scripts for bash, zsh, fish, elvish, and nushell. When active:

• The toolbar title updates to the current process name
• The toolbar subtitle updates to the working directory
• Navigator pane labels reflect the active process

Shell integration is automatic if your shell sources the integration script. Ghostty's shell integration injects via OSC escape sequences — no manual configuration needed.

Navigator Panels

Inspector Panels

The inspector shows metadata about the focused pane: process, working directory, and terminal dimensions.

Utility Area

The utility area provides a secondary terminal or output view below the editor area.
