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 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 instead since libsixel support is WIP)
• You have a need to use Japanese input in your terminal (an issue for over 3 years in alacritty, kitty supports this)
