alterNATIVE option is kitty, gpu based, non electron, tab, font ligature... (basically has everything terminus does).
- bpye 7y agoAlacritty is my favourite - no ligatures or tabs but super fast and runs everywhere.
- indemnity 7y agoI used to use Hyper (electron), but I have Alacritty looking exactly like Hyper now. Just as pretty, much lighter and faster. Starts up in a fraction of the time. Keeps up with fast scrolling text. Cross platform too!
- kstenerud 7y agoI wonder why kitty has packages for every major distribution except Ubuntu?
- KitDuncan 7y agoIt does on 19.04 I just installed it this week.
- bitwalker 7y ago+1 for kitty, it is fast and lightweight and provides all the features I've wanted out of my terminal
- IronBacon 7y agoFor every new terminal I test if they can handle tricky unicode or locking escape sequences. I tried right now the kitty terminal available on Debian Buster, and echo -e "\033(0" still requires to reset the terminal (don't paste the above in your working session if you can't type reset without visual feedback). P.S. still using Gnome-terminal that it doesn't handle locking escapes... ^__^;
- mercer 7y agocan you explain what that does? It makes my iTerm2 screen wonderfully messy.
- IronBacon 7y agoIt's an "escape" sequence that should switch coding system, but I don't recall from where it came from, I need to check my notes.
- IronBacon 7y agoI think I've pulled that example from the Mosh shell, if you look at https://mosh.org/#techinfo https://mosh.org/#techinfo you'll find other escape sequences that are still problematic for terminal emulators.
