Looks promising! It seems fast, and I like the idea of a more stripped-down terminal app. I use iTerm, which simply has too much.
That said, it has a long way to go to beat iTerm for me. Seems more like an early alpha than a finished product?
For example, out of the box, it does not support European keyboard layouts:
* I cannot type "|" because the Alt key doesn't seem to work, not even with "send_composed_key_when_left_alt_is_pressed" enabled.
* Similarly, I also cannot use Super+"[" or Super+"]" to switch tabs, because on my keyboard, "[" and "]" are Alt-7 and Alt-8 respectively.
* While Cmd+"-" works to reduce the font size, Cmd+"=" does nothing, probably because "=" requires shift on my keyboard.
There's no GUI as such. For example, attempting to close a tab brings up a text mode dialog inside the terminal window, which feels strange and antiquated. Same with the find function; the latter is more concerning, since you don't get access to normal UI functions such as like selection.
Right-clicking also doesn't bring up the standard macOS context menu.
- ziotom78 5y ago> It seems fast I was intrigued by WezTerm, but after a few tests I realized that it was ~3 times slower than Kitty (my current terminal of choice) in printing random stuff on the screen, so I decided to stick with the latter. It is a pity, because I love the way WezTerm can be configured!
