it commands with :italic:`kitty @` using the :option:`kitty @ --to` option to
specify this address. This option will be ignored, unless you set
:opt:`allow_remote_control` to yes in :file:`kitty.conf`. Note that if you run
:italic:`kitty @` within a kitty window, there is no need to specify the :italic:`--to`
option as it is read automatically from the environment.
