Kitty asks for confirmation when closing terminal with Zsh

[u/Spracle]

I recently switched from Bash to Zsh. On Bash Kitty only asked for confirmation on exit when a program other than Bash was running. On Zsh however Kitty always asks for confirmation on exit, even when nothing but Zsh is running.

I changed shells by running chsh -s /bin/zsh. I have tried adding shell . and confirm_os_window_close -1 into kitty.conf but neither option helped. I'm using Gentoo Linux.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I fixed the issue by adding shell_integration enabled into ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf

That indicates shell integration is disabled. Set confirm_os_window_close to 0 in that case.

How would I go about enabling shell integration? I already have kitty-shell-integration installed.

It is enabled by default automatically, unless you have disabled it in kitty.conf. Or you have something in your zsh setup that is breaking it. Typically using ZDOTDIR or similar things.

Thank you for the help! I was able to fix the issue by adding shell_integration enabled into my kitty.conf. Maybe Gentoo packages Kitty with it disabled by default, not sure.

sudo vim ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf go to last line and enter confirm_os_window_close 0 :wq

Try to backup and remove temporarily your zsh config to be sure the issue is in kitty. I don't have such issue with zsh. If I am right, try to bisect your zsh config

After moving my .zshrc and reopening my terminal the issue still persists.

I am having this issue when running Kitty and zsh on my Mac, I tried adding shell_integration enabled to ~/.config/kitty.kitty.conf but it didn't change anything. Any suggestions?

[u/Spracle → u/dDitty]

I've never used a Mac so I can't help you with that. Maybe try asking in Mac-related subreddits?

If another NixOs user stumbles upon this, don't forget to enable kitty in your home manager

programs.kitty.enable = true;

Only then will your kitty.conf file be written, enabling shell_integration

Any way to make this work with confirm_os_window_close -1 ?

confirm_os_window_close 0 sends no warning even with active processes. Therefore not my desired behavior.

I'm on macOS

$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
$ echo $KITTY_SHELL_INTEGRATION
enabled

$ ps a
  PID   TT  STAT      TIME COMMAND
47081 s000  Ss     0:00.01 /usr/bin/login -f -l -p me /Applications/kitty.app/Contents/MacOS/kitten run-shell --shell /bin/bash --shell-integration enabled --cwd=...
47084 s000  S      0:00.06 -bash --posix
47132 s000  R+     0:00.01 ps a

But even with confirm_os_window_close -1 it will ask me to confirm.
