Issuing remote control commands from inside tmux session

[aasutossh]

I am trying to change color scheme of kitty from inside of tmux session.
I have enabled remote control by specifying
allow_remote_control yes in kitty.conf.
I get the following error:
TimeoutError: Timed out while waiting to read command response. Make sure you are running this command from within the kitty terminal. If you want to run commands from outside, then you have to setup a socket with the --listen-on command line flag.

How do I set the --listen-on to listen to tmux?

There can be no listen to tmux. tmux is probably filtering out the kitty
control sequences. My recommendation, as always, is to not use horrible
hacks like terminal multiplexers.

If you must then you will need to setup --listen-to with a unix or tcp
socket to bypass tmux.

@aasutossh Were you able to find a solution for this? I'm facing the same problem

[aasutossh]

@GuilhermedeAndrade no, I didn't. Removed kitty, and used alacritty for a long time.

This makes me sad.

That makes two of us. But I guess it "makes sense"... we don't get bold=bright color support either in the name of pedanticism vs practicality.
