Kitty create tab with activate a conda env

[zuozuo]

When using kitty launch to create a new tab, i want to activate a specific conda env, but i can not make work, can anyone help?

I have tried

kitty @ launch --type=tab zsh -c 'conda activate aider && exec zsh'

this just returns a number

kitty @ launch --type=tab zsh -c 'exec zsh && conda activate aider'

this successfully creates a new tab, but the conda env does not change.

I dont use conda, but assuming conda activate is meant to run in the current shell and not create a separate shell, then what you need ot do is add a section like ```sh if [[ -n "$CONDA_ACTIVATE" ]]; then conda activate "$CONDA_ACTIVATE"; fi ``` to your zshrc and then in kitty do kitten @ launch --env CONDA_ACTIVATE=aider
