• launch docs: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/launch/
• sent text docs: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/remote-control/#kitten-send-text
• create a file ~/.config/kitty/open-actions.conf:

# cd into the clicked directory and list its contents
protocol file
mime inode/directory
action send_text normal,application cd ${FILE_PATH}\rls\r

# If a line number is clicked (indicated by presence of a fragment), jump to
# that line number in an editor. Use `rg --hyperlink-format=kitty` to use this
# feature
protocol file
fragment_matches [0-9]+
action send_text normal,application $EDITOR +${FRAGMENT} ${FILE_PATH}\r

# Open text files without fragments in the editor
protocol file
mime text/*,application/*
action send_text normal,application $EDITOR ${FILE_PATH}\r

# some files were matching by extension to opening with system stuff. Add to
# this extension list to open more types of files with vim
protocol file
ext yml,json,ts,tsx,jsx,py,sh,bash,rb,tf,dot
action send_text normal,application $EDITOR ${FILE_PATH}\r

# Dockerfile doesn't match by extension or mime type, so use a regex on the
# name
protocol file
url Dockerfile
action send_text normal,application $EDITOR ${FILE_PATH}\r

# Open image files with icat
protocol file
mime image/*
action send_text normal,application icat ${FILE_PATH}\r

• run gls --hyperlink=auto on a mac, or ls --hyperlink=auto if you have gnu ls, and try clicking on files to see what happens
  • click on a directory to enter that directory
  • run rg --hyperlink-format=kitty <something>, then click on a line number, and you should get brought right to that line
• here's the commit where I introduced it into my dotfiles
  • you can configure delta to use hyperlinks too
