Creating a keychain and populating it

Albeit the general system keychain could be used with this script, the most convenient way would be to create a specific keychain for kitty. Let's do it:

security create-keychain -P kitty.keychain

this will prompt for a password to protect the keychain.

Then we need to populate the keychain, which can also be done within the command line

 security add-generic-password -a USER_NAME -s PASSWORD_NAME -w PASSWORD kitty.keychain

Remeber, in order for this command to not enter in your shell history you should preppend it with a blank space.

Using this kitten

To use this plugin we should just download the python file

wget -O ~/.config/kitty/kittens/password.py FILL

We create a mapping in our ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf file

map cmd+BACKSLASH kitten kittens/password.py security find-generic-password -w -l
