The Rootiest fish-config will append the watcher automatically when it adds the symlink. On systems using this kitty config but not the accompanying fish config, this will prevent any confusion on the feature.

Configuration
Scrollback History
Terminal scrollback is automatically saved to ~/.terminal_history/ whenever a window or pane is closed (including Ctrl+D, closing a pane via keybind, or quitting kitty). The fish smart_exit function handles graceful shell exits; watcher.py catches all other close events.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
SCROLLBACK_HISTORY_DIR |
~/.terminal_history |
Directory where scrollback logs are written |
SCROLLBACK_HISTORY_MAX_FILES |
100 |
Maximum number of log files to retain |
