[Here's the official documentation](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/mapping/#modal-mappings) on configuring `kitty`'s modal mappings. I made this to explore its uses but also because sometimes my fingers trigger the wrong reflex macro and I accidentally change my layout or alter the window size. This guards against that by literally guarding that behavior behind a key combo that puts me into the express context for altering my window/tab layout and arrangement. To not clutter up your main config, I recommend saving this to its own file and using the `include` directive to bring it in. EDIT: learned that you can map the combo that enters the mode to get out of the mode [kitty-mode-window-tab-arrangement (WTA)](https://pastebin.com/rSD46dh4): ``` map --new-mode WTA kitty_mod+space>kitty_mod+space map --mode WTA kitty_mod+space>kitty_mod+space pop_keyboard_mode map --mode WTA esc pop_keyboard_mode map --mode WTA ctrl+c pop_keyboard_mode # Windows #navigation map --mode WTA h neighboring_window left map --mode WTA a neighboring_window left map --mode WTA left neighboring_window left map --mode WTA j neighboring_window down map --mode WTA s neighboring_window down map --mode WTA down neighboring_window down map --mode WTA k neighboring_window up map --mode WTA w neighboring_window up map --mode WTA up neighboring_window up map --mode WTA l neighboring_window right map --mode WTA d neighboring_window right map --mode WTA right neighboring_window right map --mode WTA f focus_visible_window #resize map --mode WTA alt+h resize_window narrower map --mode WTA alt+a resize_window narrower map --mode WTA alt+left resize_window narrower map --mode WTA alt+l resize_window wider map --mode WTA alt+d resize_window wider map --mode WTA alt+right resize_window wider map --mode WTA alt+k resize_window taller map --mode WTA alt+w resize_window taller map --mode WTA alt+up resize_window taller map --mode WTA alt+j resize_window shorter map --mode WTA alt+s resize_window shorter map --mode WTA alt+down resize_window shorter map --mode WTA ctrl+home resize_window reset map --mode WTA ctrl+r resize_window reset #arrange map --mode WTA shift+h move_window left map --mode WTA shift+a move_window left map --mode WTA shift+left move_window left map --mode WTA shift+l move_window right map --mode WTA shift+d move_window right map --mode WTA shift+right move_window right map --mode WTA shift+j move_window down map --mode WTA shift+s move_window down map --mode WTA shift+down move_window down map --mode WTA shift+k move_window up map --mode WTA shift+w move_window up map --mode WTA shift+up move_window up map --mode WTA shift+m swap_with_window # have to pop_keyboard_mode here to enable answering question map --mode WTA shift+t combine : detach_window ask : pop_keyboard_mode map --mode WTA shift+n combine : detach_tab ask : pop_keyboard_mode # Tabs map --mode WTA shift+alt+] move_tab_forward map --mode WTA shift+alt+right move_tab_forward map --mode WTA shift+alt+l move_tab_forward map --mode WTA shift+alt+d move_tab_forward map --mode WTA shift+alt+[ move_tab_backward map --mode WTA shift+alt+left move_tab_backward map --mode WTA shift+alt+h move_tab_backward map --mode WTA shift+alt+a move_tab_backward # Close others map --mode WTA ctrl+x>w close_other_windows_in_tab map --mode WTA ctrl+x>t close_other_tabs_in_os_window map --mode WTA ctrl+x>o close_other_os_windows # Layout actions enabled_layouts tall:mirrored=true,fat,splits:split_axis=horizontal,splits:split_axis=vertical,grid,horizontal,vertical,stack,tall,fat:mirrored=true map --mode WTA ctrl+alt+7 goto_layout tall map --mode WTA kitty_mod+alt+7 toggle_layout tall:mirrored=true map --mode WTA ctrl+alt+g goto_layout grid map --mode WTA ctrl+alt+w goto_layout fat map --mode WTA kitty_mod+alt+w toggle_layout fat:mirrored=true map --mode WTA ctrl+alt+v goto_layout vertical map --mode WTA ctrl+alt+h goto_layout horizontal map --mode WTA ctrl+alt+z toggle_layout stack map --mode WTA ctrl+alt+y toggle_layout splits:split_axis=horizontal map --mode WTA kitty_mod+alt+y toggle_layout splits:split_axis=vertical map --mode WTA ctrl+alt+, last_used_layout # control number of main windows action_alias increase_main layout_action increase_num_full_size_windows map --mode WTA ctrl+] increase_main map --mode WTA ctrl+up increase_main map --mode WTA ctrl+right increase_main map --mode WTA ctrl+l increase_main map --mode WTA ctrl+w increase_main map --mode WTA ctrl+d increase_main action_alias decrease_main layout_action decrease_num_full_size_windows map --mode WTA ctrl+[ decrease_main map --mode WTA ctrl+down decrease_main map --mode WTA ctrl+left decrease_main map --mode WTA ctrl+h decrease_main map --mode WTA ctrl+s decrease_main map --mode WTA ctrl+a decrease_main # increase main bias action_alias increase_bias layout_action bias 50 66 75 90 map --mode WTA kitty_mod+] increase_bias map --mode WTA kitty_mod+up increase_bias map --mode WTA kitty_mod+right increase_bias map --mode WTA kitty_mod+l increase_bias map --mode WTA kitty_mod+w increase_bias map --mode WTA kitty_mod+d increase_bias # decrease main bias action_alias decrease_bias layout_action bias 50 33 25 10 map --mode WTA kitty_mod+[ decrease_bias map --mode WTA kitty_mod+down decrease_bias map --mode WTA kitty_mod+left decrease_bias map --mode WTA kitty_mod+h decrease_bias map --mode WTA kitty_mod+s decrease_bias map --mode WTA kitty_mod+a decrease_bias ```

*(Because of how kitty's documentation is generated (relative anchors, e.g. `#1`, `#2`, etc) makes linking to specific changelog entries problematic as new versions are released; old links will not point to the correct entry.

Kitty [overlays](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/glossary/#term-overlay) are new window sessions that can be brought up over existing sessions. When the overlay is closed, the window session it overlayed is returned to where you can continue your work in its context. In the linked gif I have three windows open in the tall [layout](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/overview/#layouts). I then open my `htop` overlay in each in turn; after which I toggle to the stack layout and open my `btop` overlay. I end by closing the overlay and toggling off stack and back to tall layout. You'll see near the top of [my config](https://midwest.social/post/598124) that I have several overlays besides these two. It's actually a feature that could keep me on kitty for a while as I've grown so used to it my terminal experience would feel incomplete without them now.
