Kitty manager tutorial

Using nocheto and nochetoclient with in the kitty terminal

The kitty terminal can display graphics (kitty) chess board. But it can also divide the screen into several windows. You can use one window to run nocheto and the other to run nochetoclient.

This page describes the configuration which allows you run nocheto and nochetoclient by one command.

nocheto and nochetoclient in kitty

First crate bash file with this content:

#!/bin/bash
#
SESS="launch --type=tab nocheto --ipv4 --board=kitty --config=nochetok.ini --future $@"
SESS+=$'\n'
SESS+="launch --type=tab nochetoclient --mode=analyze --config=nochetok.ini"
echo "$SESS" | kitty --config ~/.nocheto/kitty.conf --single-instance --detach --session -

Save it wherever you want (for example in ~/bin/nochetok) and make it executalble:

$ chmod +x ~/bin/nochetok

Next you need to create the ~/.nocheto/kitty.conf file with this content:

font_size 22
enabled_layouts fat:bias=80
map f1 launch --type=tab nocheto --board=kitty

Check the help documentation for tabs and layouts in the kitty console.

And thats it. Now you can run nocheto and client by one command in kitty terminal like this: ~/bin/nochetok file.pgn

Optionally you can create a configuration file nochetok.ini with this content:

[board]
boardtype=kitty-utf8
viewtreeheight= 9
viewtree=0
keepontop=1

[console]
keepontop=1
