# alacritty
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[alacritty][alacritty] is a new terminal emulator written in Rust.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Use Cases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
alacritty can be used to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Have a terminal emulator that just works
|
||
|
|
- Have a terminal emulator with modern features like live reload, and without all the extras like window management
|
||
|
|
- Master [tmux](/tmux) since you won't be relying on window management of your terminal emulator
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should not use alacritty if:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You have a desire to output images in your terminal (use [kitty](/kitty) instead since [libsixel][libsixel] support is WIP)
|
||
|
|
- You have a need to use Japanese input in your terminal ([an issue][ime-support] for over 3 years in alacritty, [kitty](/kitty) supports this)
