Thanks, Jon. If it is at 7.99,
can 8.0 be far away? Should I wait?

LTSpice schematic import support has been added in the
nightly builds (7.99) and will be released in KiCad 8.0.
Unfortunately, there is no way I know of to import an
LTSpice schematic in 7.0 or older versions of KiCad

Thanks, Tony, but I
think you misunderstood. I want to convert an LTspice
schematic (in .ASC or any other format) to a KiCad
schematic. I could print it and re-create it in KiCad,
but I was hoping to find a conversion.

Symbols
and PCBs can be captured from bitmaps, so it looks
as though schematics, which are much simpler, could
be captured, but there is no direct way to do that
in KiCad 6. I wonder if there is an indirect way, or
some sort of work-around.
I think you're out of luck, John. There are scripts to
create symbols, but I suspect they are not useful for the
kind of (analogue) stuff you want to use.
Perhaps if you post a list of what you're looking looking
for, you find they exist already. Whether they are to your
taste, is another matter. But honestly, if you've created
symbols in LTspice, it's? hardly more onerous to do it in
KiCAD, and they'll be prettier.
