I feel like kitty conf file/example should not be put there? $ equery files kitty ... /usr/lib64/kitty/kitty/kitty.conf ... Sidenote: thanks for packaging this awesome soft.
This feels like an issue that should be reported/patched upstream since the code defaults to this location for the system-wide config right now: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/blob/master/kitty/config.py#L339 You can also override the config settings with your own file in ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf.
Thanks for the reply. I opened the bug upstream. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/360
Well it seems the bug indeed belongs upstream, and won't be fixed soon. I close this one for now.
