I switched from iTerm to Kitty.
In iterm I could set the starting location for new terminal windows to the desktop.
Which config option is this in kitty?
You can create a startup session file: see details here.
If all you want to do is start in a certain folder, the file could be named ~/.config/kitty/kitty-startup.session and consist of one line:
cd /path/where/I/want/to/start If you want to make that session the default, in your kitty.conf put:
startup_session ~/.config/kitty/kitty-startup.session You can have multiple session files and load whichever one you want with:
kitty --session /path/to/session/file Though if all you want to do is start in a new folder, you can just give the folder name as argument as well:
kitty /path/to/folder
