Also kitty user here, and one thing I really missed about xterm is the ability to "InhibitTite" to disable the second buffer. Use case: I edit a documentation file, find a set of commands I need to run, and exit the editor to run them, and the commands disappear from my screen. xterm has a few options allowing you, as the user, to disable this functionality and just have a single screen.

Most other terminals do not have this option.

So for kitty, I made a small deb package with the kitty terminfo file, which I need anyway unless I use xterm-256color, but I modified the entry to not have the ti/te entries.

Win/win.
