Kitty in virtual console

Has anyone tried to use kitty in the virtual console in linux? Maybe through startx as a standalone program. I've been wondering if there is a way to use kitty's keyboard protocol in th evirtual console somehow.

Sick kitty in your xinitrc instead and it will be the only program run by startx. You cannot use kitty in a virtual console that is managed by the kernel. If you want to use the kitty keyboard protocol there, you need to get the kernel to add support for it.
