In the previous video I tried kitty sessions, but each session was a separate kitty instance. That changed recently, now all the kitty sessions can be created in a single kitty instance. For me that personally works better because I don't like moving kitty instances around to different desktops, I like to manage everything in a single instance and just switch to the different sessions. This feels more like a tmux substitute, or tmux substitute
