session restore

if you have used ctrl+a>s generate the session, you do not need this.

you can create your session file under ~/.config/kitty, let's say the filename is session.conf

change startup_session none to startup_session session.conf

create session.conf like this:

new_tab home
layout splits
cd ~
launch zsh
focus

new_tab work
cd ~/work
launch zsh

new_tab nvim
cd ~/.config/nvim
launch zsh

new_tab go
cd ~/repo/go
launch zsh

new_tab rust
cd ~/repo/rust
launch zsh
