-# Kitty users need `allow_remote_control` set to `yes`, and `listen_on` set
-# to e.g. "unix:$TMPDIR/kitty" and ImageMagick installed (which is required by kitty icat script). To customize the window split, `enabled_layouts`
-# has to be set to `all` or `splits` (the former is the default value).
-# This terminal is also able to show images without extra dependencies.
+# Kitty users need something similar to the following in their kitty.conf:
+# - `allow_remote_control yes`
+# - `listen_on unix:$TMPDIR/kitty`
+# - `enabled_layouts splits` (optional)
+# With ImageMagick installed, this terminal can use the icat kitten to display images.
+# Refer to kitty documentation for further details.

# Iterm2 users are recommended to use viu to view images without getting pixelated.
