# Register kitty as a handler for specific MIME types

If you want to use kitty as the default handler for a set of MIME types, copy
/usr/share/doc/kitty/examples/kitty-open.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/.

“xdg-mime” can be used to query (and adjust) what the default handler is for a
given MIME type, in case you need to promote/demote kitty-open as the handler.

Note kitty-open may execute files, rather than viewing them, so test the
behavior with “xdg-open” on trusted files when changing the MIME types that
kitty is registered for.

# Input Method support

You can enable input of non-Latin characters to the kitty terminal as follows:

1. Install an input method program based on ibus or fcitx5
2. Place the following file named "kitty" in PATH
   (e.g., ~/.local/bin or /usr/local/bin)
3. Make "kitty" script an executable. (`chmod 755 kitty`)

---
#!/bin/sh -e
GLFW_IM_MODULE=ibus exec /usr/bin/kitty "$@"
---

fcitx5 uses the same communication protocol as ibus.  So you use "ibus" even for
"fcitx5".  Other input method infrastructure such as "fcitx" and "uim" are not
supported.
