Name

       kitten-@-scroll-window - Scroll the specified windows

Usage

       kitten @ scroll-window  SCROLL_AMOUNT

Description

       Scroll the specified windows, if no window is specified, scroll the window this command is
       run inside. SCROLL_AMOUNT can be either the keywords start or end or an  argument  of  the
       form  <number>[unit][+-].  For example, 30 will scroll down 30 lines, 2p- will scroll up 2
       pages and 0.5pwill scroll down half page. 3u will *unscroll* by 3 lines, which means  that
       3 lines will move from the scrollback buffer onto the top of the screen.

Options

       --match, -m
              The window to match. Match specifications are of the form: field:query. Where field
              can be one of: id, title, pid, cwd, cmdline, num, env, var,  state,  neighbor,  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 windows.

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

              The field num refers to the window position in the current tab, starting from  zero
              and  counting  clockwise  (this  is  the same as the order in which the windows are
              reported by the kitten @ ls command).

              The window id of the current window is available as the KITTY_WINDOW_ID environment
              variable.

              The  field  recent  refers  to recently active windows in the currently active tab,
              with zero being the currently active window, one being the previously active window
              and so on.

              The  field  neighbor  refers  to  a  neighbor of the active window in the specified
              direction, which can be: left, right, top or bottom.

              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.

              Similarly,  the  var  field  matches  on  user variables set on the window. You can
              specify name or name and value as with the env field.

              The field state matches on the state of the window. Supported states  are:  active,
              focused,  needs_attention,  parent_active,  parent_focused,  self,  overlay_parent.
              Active windows are the windows that are active in their parent tab. There  is  only
              one  focused window and it is the window to which keyboard events are delivered. If
              no window is focused, the last focused window is matched. The  value  self  matches
              the  window  in  which  the remote control command is run. The value overlay_parent
              matches the window that is under the self  window,  when  the  self  window  is  an
              overlay.

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

       --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
