Open GUI from kitty not a standalone window

[NextAlone]

Describe the bug When exec some python scripts, open gui like figures, it shows inside kitty, not a new standalone window, so that cant see the output in kitty, cause it replaced with figures, but other terminal open a new window to show that. Is there some config that i didn't notice or you design it like this.

Additional context Works the same when ==config NONE

[kovidgoyal]

What opens where is entirely dependent on your shell and what commands you are running, not the terminal emulator.

[NextAlone]

but the same commands works differently in other terminal like alaricity

[kovidgoyal]

I dont see how that's possible. When you run a command it is executed by your shell not the terminal. In any case it would help if you posted a command you are running.

[NextAlone]

just like this simple python script it open figure in kitty not a new window

update: test in xterm and alaritty works correctly, but wrongly in kitty

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from pylab import figure, axes, pie, title, show

figure(1, figsize=(6, 6))
ax = axes([0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.8])

labels = 'Frogs', 'Hogs', 'Dogs', 'Logs'
fracs = [15, 30, 45, 10]

explode = (0, 0.05, 0, 0)
pie(fracs, explode=explode, labels=labels, autopct='%1.1f%%', shadow=True)
title('Raining Hogs and Dogs', bbox={'facecolor': '0.8', 'pad': 5})

show()

that will be because pylab is taking advantage of kittys graphics support to draw the image inline. If you dont want it to, configure it not to do that.

and other programs, like android emulator, ros(robort system) qt gragh

but it shows gui, not a simple image

[kovidgoyal]

There is no way A Qt program is displaying inside a terminal.

just see this record

[NextAlone]

this is the same command in alacritty and xterm https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/12210746/147311086-0f430ce4-0fa5-4d39-acb0-0c72f759d497.mp4

rosrun rqt_image_view rqt_image_view in ros-noetic-rqt-image-view

[NextAlone]

rosrun rqt_image_view rqt_image_view in ros-noetic-rqt-image-view

and other like mpv (a video player), all show in kitty instead of a new window

[kovidgoyal]

I dont see anything showing in kitty in your video. Your window manager is simply overlaying the GUI on top of the kitty. indow.
