Get drop down with kitty

Question

I used to use guake and I preferred the drop down style of it so is there a way to have this in kitty. So far i have tried kitti3 and added

exec_always --no-startup-id kitti3
bindsym $mod+n nop kitti3

NOTE: I am using i3 gaps with python3.8 when I tried executing this command manually the output is

$ nop kitti3
Can't open kitti3

It looks like i3 is unaware of the path to kitti3, so I'd try wrapping it into a variable (for the sake of brevity). Something like set $kitti3 /home/perseus/.local/bin/kitti3 and then replacing kitti3 with $kitti3 in the config above. — And R, Commented Jan 23, 2023 at 9:31
Also note that in bindsym <smth> nop kitti3, nop is not a shell command. It is an instruction to i3 to not execute anything but output what goes after nop to logs. Kitti3 listens to those logs and pops the terminal window once the message appears. — And R, Commented Jan 23, 2023 at 9:33

What is the output of which kitti3? It seems like your system doesn't recognize kitti3
