Requirements
A modern terminal with 24bit color and, ideally, kitty keyboard protocol support. Kitty, Foot and Ghostty are the recommended terminals at this time. Zellij also works well. Most other terminals will work, but likely with reduced functionality.
NerdFont support. Either via terminal font fallback or a patched font.
A UTF-8 locale
