Not a bug, but a modest feature request #7625

Under a running kitty, how can we know what version is running? Obviously 'kitty --version' won't do, since the kitty running 'kitty --version' might not be the instance or version we are running under.

I would propose kitty sets an environment variable of its version, e.g. like bash does with its BASH_VERSION='5.1.16(1)-release'.

You can press Ctrl+Shift+F6 to see the version and a lot of other stuff.
