So you have
kitty.ini file to force KiTTY not to use registry, correct?

But you said:
Yet, my KiTTY portable is not reading the registry. A portable app has exactly this idea - to not depend on registry and system-related folders.
So what is the solution, then? How do I make it get the session info from the registry?
I do not think you need to install KiTTY to make it use registry.

OK, so how do I make WinSCP pass the session private key to KiTTY?
WinSCP does not have a way to pass a private key to PuTTY/KiTTY command-line. Only via registry.

This is still my client path:
I need this because as you see, I set other parameters to KiTTY, like window position.

C:\kitty\kitty.exe -xpos 926 -ypos 0 -title ""!N" - "!@"" -cmd "cd '!/'" !U@!@

I am in a corporate environment. For several reasons KiTTY is not installed but rather used in portable mode.
And this is how I open it from WinSCP:

Re: Add external application pattern for private key file
Because it is passing the password and I need it passing the key that it set in the connection. It is not doing that. Or am I doing it wrong?
It should pass everything.
Also I am using KiTTY and it is not using the registry.
KiTTY can use registry too (unless you configured it not to).

Re: Add external application pattern for private key file
Why do you need to use a full command-line. Why don't you just let WinSCP provide complete session settings via registry?

Add external application pattern for private key file
I can currently open a PuTTY/KiTTY terminal for current connection passing the username and password.
However, for many sites I just have the private key.
While I can add those keys to Pageant/Kageant, our servers are set to reject connection after 3 failed key attempts.
With this feature request, WinSCP would allow me to pass the relevant private key that is used with the current connection to KiTTY's parameter -i.
