Add alacritty It turns out that I don't actually *need* image output in the terminal (besides being cool). With that aside, I can safely use alacritty knowing that it's written in Rust and is apparently the fastest terminal emulator in existence.

- 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:

2021-05-14 23:26:33 +02:00
- 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)
