Kitty and Kageant

Hi!

I'm trying to setup kitty with kageant.
While it seems to work fine, if the private key is already added in the "kageant key list".
It unfortunately I always have to enter my key passphrase in kitty terminal windows, if the kageant key list is empty (e.g. after kageant startup).
Usually it should open a popup from kageant to enter my passphrase and the key should be added to the key list.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Oh, seems like even putty+pageant itself cannot do this.
Seems like I have seen the described behaviour somwhere else (GitExtension I guess).
But thanks!

This feature works fine.
Do you check the "Attempt authentication using Pageant" option first ?

@Ingo: Also note that 'kitty -launcher' is a good alternative to kageant (once sessions are configured properly). For me it's more convenient.
