What is kitty?

KiTTY is a powerful and feature-rich terminal emulator that builds upon the foundation of the popular PuTTY software. Forked from PuTTY version 0.70, KiTTY introduces a host of additional capabilities that enhance the user experience and expand the functionality of the terminal. One of its key advantages is the offloading of rendering to the GPU, which significantly reduces system load and delivers buttery smooth scrolling. Complementing this, KiTTY utilizes threaded rendering to minimize input latency, ensuring a responsive and seamless workflow.
