Disable splitting feature

[waldauf]

Hi,

I found out that the shortcut command + enter activates window splitting even though I didn't find it in the configuration. Is there a way how to disable splitting at all? The reason why I'm asking is TMUX interference.

Read the section on shortcuts in the kitty docs it will tell you how to unmap shortcuts.

@kovidgoyal , thank You for Your answer.

I already found/read these sections layout, this about shortcuts and this about unmapping. I tried these ways how to disable command/ctrl+enter it but without success.

# Unbind horizontal split
# map none split_window horizontal
# map none launch --location=hsplit 
# map none launch --location=vsplit 
# map none split_axis vertical
# map none split_axis horizontal
map ctrl+enter
map ctrl+enter discard_event

That's why I ask for help.

map kitty_mod+enter or if you are on older kitty map kitty_mod+enter no_op There is no ctrl+enter mapping in kitty.

Neither of these two options work. After the change, I killed the kitty and ran it again (for sure).

Run kitty in debug keyboard mode when I split window into two parts:

Does not replicate for me. Running kitty --config NONE -o 'map cmd+enter' Pressing command+enter does nothing, as expected.

[waldauf]

I'm not sure what I did badly, but now it is working. 🙈

So it is about replacing kitty_cmd for cmd!
Thank You, for Your help!
