Using terminal programs to provide Linux desktop components

Power users of terminals on Linux also often like to use bare bones window
12+
managers instead of full fledged desktop environments. This kitten helps
13+
provide parts of the desktop environment that are missing from such setups,
14+
and does so using keyboard friendly, terminal first UI components. Some of its
15+
features are:
16+
17+
* Replace the typical File Open/Save dialogs used in GUI programs with the
18+
fast and keyboard centric :doc:`choose-files </kittens/choose-files>` kitten
19+
running in a semi-transparent kitty overlay.
20+
21+
* Allow simple command line based management of the desktop color scheme
22+
light/dark modes.
