The strategy adds support for :Make/:Dispatch and :Start/:Spawn task execution using Kitty windows and tabs. :Make/:Dispatch tasks use kitty's get-text[^1] feature to avoid piping command outputs. This allows interactive debugging sessions and complex TUIs to function. It also allows outputs to display in color during execution and capture the output without ANSI codes. Environment isolation is implemented using the `--copy-env` and `--env` flags. Environment variables are copied over except the ones set by (neo)vim itself.

👋 Hey Mr. Pope,
A huge fan here. I've used this plugin for the last decade. I'm grateful for your work and glad that this plugin helped me have fun and earn a living.
I used this plugin with the tmux strategy since the beginning. Lately, I grew apart from tmux and started using the multiplexing capabilities of the Kitty terminal emulator.
I've been testing this patch for the last month and have fixed all the issues I encountered. It's my first major Vimscript project, so I'm unsure if everything meets the standards.
Please let me know if this strategy is something you would like to add to this esteemed plugin.
