Alacritty is not a good terminal. It lacks support for several sensible protocols, such as keyboard disambiguation (guests cannot discern between e.g. ctrl+I and tab). Foot is probably a competent terminal with somewhat similar goals to Alacritty (the VT library is incredibly fast, which seems to make up for the software rendering).
- boffinAudio 2y agoHow about Terminator? I've been using it for years and never encountered any issues, but I'm curious how it rates in your ranking of terms... ?
- zamalek 2y agoNo idea, I have never used it.
- gh02t 2y agoTerminator is built on libvte for the actual terminal emulator bits (as are MANY other Linux GUI terminal apps), so it has pretty mature support for a lot of the not-sexy-but-important features like the ones the parent post mentions by virtue of inheriting them from libvte. In terms of the low level terminal emulation support most of the libvte terminals are semi-interchangeable, at least the ones I have used.
