Help with kitty terminal

I used kitty-cat to edit fonts

Can you try pressing ctrl+shift+f2 from within Kitty and then adding font_size 20.0? That will make sure you are editing the same config file Kitty is using.

If that doesn't work, I'd try deleting the config and then try again. Kitty should automatically create a new config.

which desktop environment are you using?

Ctrl + Shift + - should decrease the font size of the current terminal, which isn't what you are looking for, but could be useful while you sort it out. Is it possible that the font in the config doesn't exist, causing this issue?

Ill have to grab an external keyboard, my. Fkeys are fucked on account of my computer being a chromebook.

There is a keyboard shortcut to reload the config. I don't remember what the default is. On the kitty website, go to the page about kitty.conf and ctrl-f reload or refresh.

To check that the config is really reloading, make an edit to the section about theme, tab style, etc.

There is a way to output the actual config as used so you can look for your settings.

If you call kitty from the command line you can optionally use an argument to specify a config file. Iirc it is --config but verify in docs.

What is the location of the config file you are editing?

Post the section of the config file that isn't working?

Try moving the section you are editing to the very bottom of the file to ensure it isn't getting over rided later on.

Meow, meow. Meow?

I'm on my phone away from my computer, so I don’t know the exact syntax, but I use a built-in kitten to set the font inside my .zshrc

It has its pros and cons, but it works well for me.

Did you remove the # at the start of the font_size setting?
