Back to main discussion

Cool, but now SSH into a remote server and then try to open nano. It doesn't.

After using it for 3 weeks I concluded that as Kitty breaks the fundamentals all the nice shiny isn't worth it.

Just install terminfo.

It is intended behavior, almost every terminal requires terminfo. It is just that terminfo for most popular (or older) ones comes preinstalled.

All new niche terminal suffer from it. Foot has the same problem.

Or override the TERM variable in your ssh config. Setting it to an xterm value has been supported by any niche term I've used over the years without sacrificing any of the usual functions.
