From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There is a keyboard shortcut to reload the config. I don't remember what the default is. On the kitty website, go to the page about kitty.conf and ctrl-f reload or refresh.
To check that the config is really reloading, make an edit to the section about theme, tab style, etc.
There is a way to output the actual config as used so you can look for your settings.
If you call kitty from the command line you can optionally use an argument to specify a config file. Iirc it is --config but verify in docs.
What is the location of the config file you are editing?
Post the section of the config file that isn't working?
Try moving the section you are editing to the very bottom of the file to ensure it isn't getting over rided later on.
finally got it working. i re-downloaded it and made my own config. apparently size 11 font is fuggin huge on my chromebook.
