Options

       --match, -m
              The tab to match. Match specifications are of the form:  field:query.  Where  field
              can  be  one  of: id, index, title, window_id, window_title, pid, cwd, cmdline env,
              var, state and recent. query is the expression to match. Expressions can be  either
              a number or a regular expression, and can be combined using Boolean operators.

              The special value all matches all tabs.

              For  numeric  fields:  id,  index,  window_id,  pid  and  recent, the expression is
              interpreted as a number, not a regular expression. Negative values for id/window_id
              match  from  the  highest  id  number  down, in particular, -1 is the most recently
              created tab/window.

              When using title or id, first a matching tab is looked for,  and  if  not  found  a
              matching window is looked for, and the tab for that window is used.

              You  can  also  use  window_id  and window_title to match the tab that contains the
              window with the specified id or title.

              The index number is used to match the nth tab in the currently  active  OS  window.
              The  recent  number matches recently active tabs in the currently active OS window,
              with zero being the currently active tab, one the previously active tab and so on.

              When using the env field to match on environment variables, you  can  specify  only
              the  environment  variable name or a name and value, for example, env:MY_ENV_VAR=2.
              Tabs containing any window with the specified environment  variables  are  matched.
              Similarly, var matches tabs containing any window with the specified user variable.

              The  field  state  matches  on  the state of the tab. Supported states are: active,
              focused, needs_attention, parent_active and parent_focused.  Active  tabs  are  the
              tabs  that  are active in their parent OS window. There is only one focused tab and
              it is the tab to which keyboard events are delivered. If no  tab  is  focused,  the
              last focused tab is matched.

              Note that you can use the kitten @ ls command to get a list of tabs.

       --response-timeout [=60]
              The time in seconds to wait for the user to select a window.

       --self Select window from the tab containing the window this command is run in, instead of
              the active tab.

       --title
              A title that will be displayed to the user to describe what this selection is for.

       --exclude-active
              Exclude the currently active window from the list of windows to pick.

       --reactivate-prev-tab
              When the selection is finished, the tab in the same OS window  that  was  activated
              before the selection will be reactivated. The last activated OS window will also be
              refocused.

       --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
