Name

       kitten-@-load-config - (Re)load a config file

Usage

       kitten @ load-config  CONF_FILE ...

Description

       (Re)load  the  specified  kitty.conf  config  files(s).  If  no  files  are  specified the
       previously specified config file is reloaded. Note that the specified paths must exist and
       be  readable  by  the  kitty  process on the computer that process is running on. Relative
       paths are resolved with respect to the kitty config  directory  on  the  computer  running
       kitty.

Options

       --ignore-overrides
              By  default,  any  config  overrides  previously  specified at the kitty invocation
              command line or a previous load-config-file command are respected. Use this  option
              to have them ignored instead.

       --override, -o
              Override individual configuration options, can be specified multiple times. Syntax:
              name=value. For example: -o font_size=20

       --no-response
              Don't wait for a response indicating the success of the  action.  Note  that  using
              this option means that you will not be notified of failures.

       --help, -h
              Show help for this command

Global options

       --to   An  address  for the kitty instance to control. Corresponds to the address given to
              the kitty  instance  via  the  --listen-on  option  or  the  listen_on  setting  in
              kitty.conf.  If not specified, the environment variable KITTY_LISTEN_ON is checked.
              If that is also not found, messages are sent to the controlling terminal  for  this
              process, i.e. they will only work if this process is run within a kitty window.

       --password
              A  password to use when contacting kitty. This will cause kitty to ask the user for
              permission to perform the specified action, unless the password has  been  accepted
              before or is pre-configured in kitty.conf.

       --password-file [=rc-pass]
              A  file  from  which to read the password. Trailing whitespace is ignored. Relative
              paths are resolved from the kitty configuration  directory.  Use  -  to  read  from
              STDIN. Used if no --password is supplied. Defaults to checking for the rc-pass file
              in the kitty configuration directory.

       --password-env [=KITTY_RC_PASSWORD]
              The name of an  environment  variable  to  read  the  password  from.  Used  if  no
              --password-file   is  supplied.  Defaults  to  checking  the  environment  variable
              KITTY_RC_PASSWORD.

       --use-password [=if-available]
              If no password is available, kitty  will  usually  just  send  the  remote  control
              command  without a password. This option can be used to force it to always or never
              use the supplied password.

              Choices: if-available, always, never
