Yes, and i discovered what's happening. The dtach command simply runs
whatever i give it and exits. So, doing *kitty dtach -A
~/.cache/dtach_vim_session ls *gives me a dir listing and terminates
immediately.
I tried this originally with tmux but i couldn't figure out how to nest the
quotes:
*Key([mod], "Return", lazy.spawn("kitty tmux -c "vim -c ':ter
++curwin'"")),*
The above does not work. It gives me a qtile error and i have to
cntrl-alt-backspace to get out, because you can't fix and refresh qtile.
tmux -c "vim -c ':ter ++curwin'" works at the command line but the command
following the *tmux -c* must be in double quotes, and the vim command must
be in single quotes.
How do I nest that in qtile?
Thanks,
