I liked termite because of the keyboard based selection mode and the minimal functionality. Wasn't aware that Alacrity supports that now. Alacrity is my choice for Windows, but unfortunately I cannot use it on WSL2, because it needs GLX features, which are not available. I hope I can soon use the new WSL2 graphics support
- hyperpl 5y agoI didn't know alacrity was supported on Windows. Can it be used in place of putty as well?
- Iwan-Zotow 5y agoIs it better than native Windows terminal?
- Bjartr 5y agoThe new Windows Terminal or the old Command Prompt?

- chrismorgan 5y ago> unfortunately I cannot use it on WSL2 I’m confused by what you’re saying here, because I can’t think of any particularly compelling reason to run Alacritty inside WSL beyond ease of installation. You can run the Windows Alacritty from WSL2 with no trouble (like any other .exe file), and you can run WSL stuff inside Alacritty. Admittedly spawning something WSL-side inside Alacritty from the WSL side becomes a smidgeon more complicated, because you’ll need to rewrite any `alacritty --command …` to run it through wsl.exe or your distro-specific launcher. But even if you need to do that, that should be pretty much set-and-forget with a little wrapper shell script. Have I misunderstood the reason for your remark?
