This is less of an issue if you use a multiplexer like tmux, so how appropriate Alacritty is depends on how you use it.

- the_duke 8y agoTrue. I use i3 (a tiling WM) though, so tmux is redundant for me unless I work on remote machines. And I really don't want tmux running on top just for scrolling. It hurts performance quite a bit.
- nobleach 8y agoAdd the fact that copy/paste into/out of vim gets a little more annoying. (not impossible, just more annoying)
- sime2009 8y agoThe big idea of Alacritty is that it uses the GPU for superfast rendering and updates. But relying on tmux for scrolling seems to be a case of "penny wise and pound foolish". Having to round trip key presses and updates through a separate and possibly remote process (tmux) just to do scrolling, introduces a bunch of latency. "Normal" emulators with built in scrolling don't have this problem. Scrolling is purely local operation.
