It’s actually fixed, for everything, with a single kitty config line which tells it to use xterm-256color as the terminal type.

I respect the man’s ideological correctness, but it’s not 1982 anymore and nobody is going to add more terminal types.

If you mean the `alias ssh="kitty +kitten ssh"` then no, it's not fixed at all.

For example pikvm exists with read-only mounted filesystem. Having to dive into the details to figure out that the issue is kitty trying to write a file to make some obscure terminal features work doesn't strike me as good design.

`alias ssh="TERM=xterm-256color ssh"` fixes it but isn't mentioned in the docs.

Ghostty made that obvious in the documentation for me. I haven't looked at the kitty docs, so Idk if they do as well.
