Name

       kitten-@-new-window - Open new window

Usage

       kitten @ new-window  [CMD ...]

Description

       DEPRECATED: Use the launch command instead.

       Open  a  new window in the specified tab. If you use the --match option the first matching
       tab is used. Otherwise the currently active tab is used. Prints out the id  of  the  newly
       opened window (unless --no-response is used). Any command line arguments are assumed to be
       the command line used to run in the new window, if none are provided, the default shell is
       run. For example::

           kitten @ new-window --title Email mutt

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.

       --title
              The title for the new window. By default it will use the title set by  the  program
              running in it.

       --cwd  The  initial working directory for the new window. Defaults to whatever the working
              directory for the kitty process you are talking to is.

       --dont-take-focus, --keep-focus
              Keep the current window focused instead of switching to the newly opened window.

       --window-type [=kitty]
              What kind of window to open. A kitty window or a top-level OS window.

              Choices: kitty, os

       --new-tab
              Open a new tab.

       --tab-title
              Set the title of the tab, when open a new tab.

       --no-response
              Don't wait for a response giving the id of the newly opened window. Note that using
              this  option means that you will not be notified of failures and that the id of the
              new window will not be printed out.

       --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
