I have been playing with this a bit. I kinda like it. It's starting to grow on me. LOL The one thing I can't figure out, the scroll thing on the side of the window it's in. On most things, web browsers and such, there is a scroll thing on the right side. You can left click and hold and scroll rather quickly to a certain spot. When there is a long page of info, it can come in handy. It is a LOT faster than using the mouse wheel or the page up/down keys. I can't figure out how to work the one in Kitty tho. I see the little bar but when I left click on it, it doesn't do anything. If I try to scroll with it, it just highlights text in the window. Also, usually the mouse pointer changes when I'm over that little scroll part. With Kitty, it doesn't change. It stays a little text bar like it does when over text. It's there but it doesn't allow the mouse to make use of it. I've been through the config file a few times and found scroll things but I'm not seeing the part that controls it. All the other windows I use, web browsers, Konsole, file mangers etc work as they should. I don't think it is a KDE window setting since everything else works. I can't find anything with Kitty either tho. You have any idea what controls that behavior? Maybe it is called something I don't realize that is what it is or something. Oh, it is all controlled by the config file like you said. It has no settings or preference menu anywhere. Heck, there's no menu at all. ROFL Thing is, once set up, it doesn't matter. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
