@fools-mate: If you can post your AppleScript here, I can probably help you a bit better. The one I just posted is not for use in Alfred, it's for the Automator Folder Action thing that I made, which would cause it not to work, as it's specialized for that purpose. However, if you follow the general steps I listed, you should be able to get to a working solution. If not, post your script here and I'll take a look when I can. Apologies for the misleading explanation, I'll update it so that any future readers aren't confused.
Ah ok, I thought this solution would be also a fix for the problem in Alfred.
I just tried to exchange the one line in Alfred, this was really naiv. 😅

do shell script "nohup /Applications/kitty.app/Contents/MacOS/kitty `which zsh` -c "source ~/.zshrc && cd \"$1\"; `which zsh`" > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
end alfred_script
@fools-mate: This is an adapted version of the original (for bash). Try this and let me know if it works for you! I haven't tested it since I'm at work, but this should do it for you.
on alfred_script(q)
do shell script "cd ~; nohup /Applications/kitty.app/Contents/MacOS/kitty /bin/bash -c \"source ~/.bashrc && " & q & ";/bin/bash\" > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
end alfred_script
I tried it with zsh and it works great! 🎉
Thank you.
@fools-mate: No worries! Glad it works for you. I'll update the original script in a moment to reflect this change.
Current script will open another instance of kitty.app (extra icon in Dock)
@aahung I am pretty sure this is a kitty preference, and I haven't noticed this issue before. Not sure what to tell you.
If you want to open a new tab within an existing Kitty instance I came up with this: https://gist.github.com/pyrho/d2f4fe152eb8113b1956edd6d7456862, it's a bit more troublesome to set up, but nothing too hard ^^
I just came across this gist as I was trying to set up this functionality in Alfred, however when I tried using it, it kept splitting my active terminal instead of opening a new tab. I did some digging and it turns out that the new-window command is deprecated, replaced by the launch command. Here's the snippet that I was able to come up with that opens a new tab instead of splitting the current one.
on alfred_script(q)
tell application "kitty" to activate
tell application "System Events"
repeat until (exists file "/tmp/mykitty.sock")
delay 6
end repeat
end tell
do shell script "/Applications/kitty.app/Contents/MacOS/kitty @ --to unix:/tmp/mykitty.sock launch --type=tab"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke q
tell application "System Events"
key code 36 -- enter key
end tell
end alfred_script
In addition to this, you will need to ensure that allow_remote_control yes is present in your ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf file, and then also create a new file at ~/.config/kitty/macos-launch-services-cmdline which contains the following:
--listen-on unix:/tmp/mykitty.sock
This macos-launch-services-cmdline file is specific to the Mac version of kitty and specifies launch arguments to use, which is the only way I was able to get it to create the necessary socket file for remote control.
That was a quick and extensive response, thanks!
It tried the command in the terminal and it works fine but when I try to exchange the line in Alfred, it don't work anymore.
What do I wrong? I have no experience in AppleScript.
Btw. nice little trick to use
which zsh.
