Getting all keybindings working in the TUI (alien.top)

Hey guys, took me a while to figure this out since there isn't much information about this anywhere so I figured I'd leave this here for anyone else having the same issue.

If you're a terminal aficionado and you're using Kitty, all you have to do is install kkp.el and enable it in your config and all keybindings will work properly.

if you already use a graphical terminal emulator - why just don't use GUI Emacs?

I like to keep my config minimal with most of my workflow in the terminal itself.

For example instead of using projectile or find file inside emacs I can just use fzf from the cli to fuzzy search my entire system and then open the selection in emacs.

Also I can use a kitty overlay to call fzf from inside emacs, which gives me the same functionality as nvim's telescope.

I don't see any advantages, only downsides. The great thing about Emacs is the consistency. Autocompletion (ivy/vertico/etc), actions(ivy/embark), help(ivy-rich/marginalia) - it's all here, with the same shortcuts.

Home manager puts your entire system under one config and makes it so easy to try different things that I'd rather not be locked into one ecosystem. 🤷

how is your school going?

I do the same here, mostly terminal emacs.

I have my tmux set to open sessions by "project" searching with fzf (similar to what Primegen does with nvim+tmux). Several cli tools for each project running.

My emacs is demonized and I use projectile to "isolate" things on the "editing" side of my projects.

I feel you :)

Strangely, I never had any problems with kitty. I just have a bunch o remaps from "meta+something" to "esc+something" so I can use it seemsly with a mac keyboard (I use the same config both for macOS and Linux).
