I need to interact with my computer for it to do stuff, I think you somehow exagerated here.
Exluding that incoherent requirement, I'd have two choices:
1. Run the command in a terminal and hit super+f
2. Run the command in a terminal, super+right, super+w (I can switch back and for to <-> from the terminal).
Bonus point of using i3 is that I can optionally have any external program become part of my grid or add/remove exiting terminals to/from different mixed layouts (or workspaces). With multiplexers you're screwed and can't do that.
Note: I do use tmux on all my sessions, but it's mostly for "tab" support, or attaching/detaching (even from different workstations).
kitty isn't packaged for me, so a package in the official repos is still possible. It just depends on whether your distro packages the other kitty or not.

Actually, scrub that:
> KiTTY is only designed for the Microsoft® Windows® platform
There's no name clash on any distro. Both kitties support different OS families.
20USD is ridiculously expensive in some countries. I understand that this may be cheap in the US (is it?), but it's more than twice what I pay in latin america.
And the price goes up if you want data - which you will in 2015.
