Allowing only some windows to control kitty
----------------------------------------------
If you do not want to allow all programs running in |kitty| to control it, you can selectively
enable remote control for only some |kitty| windows. Simply create a shortcut
such as::
map ctrl+k new_window @ some_program
Then programs running in windows created with that shortcut can use ``kitty @``
to control kitty. Note that any program with the right level of permissions can
still write to the pipes of any other program on the same computer and
therefore can control |kitty|. It can, however, be useful to block programs
running on other computers (for example, over ssh) or as other users.
