Open File in Kitty + Neovim

Open the last mentioned file path in neovim, inside a new kitty window pane (split within the current OS window).

Prerequisite

Runs only inside the kitty terminal with remote control enabled (kitty @ must work). If kitty @ ls fails, tell the user this skill is kitty-only and stop.

Workflow

  1. Find the last file path mentioned, read, edited, or written in recent conversation
  2. Split into <dir> (parent directory, absolute) and <name> (filename only)
  3. Run:
bash -c "kitty @ launch --type window --cwd <dir> nvim <name>" &

Rules

  • --type window — new kitty window pane inside current OS window. NOT --type tab. NOT --type os-window.
  • --cwd <dir> — always set, so relative paths and :! commands in nvim work naturally.
  • Pass plain <name> to nvim (not absolute path), since cwd is already set.
  • Wrap in bash -c "..." & so it backgrounds cleanly and does not block.

Notes

  • If no file was recently mentioned, ask the user which file to open.
  • For multiple files: pass them all as args after nvim (still inside the same --cwd).
