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.

       --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.  To  use  a  blank password specify
              --use-password as always.

       --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. Use fd:num to read from the file descriptor num. 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. If set to always and no password is provided, the  blank
              password is used.

              Choices: if-available, always, never
