For those that have to bounce between Mac and Linux for work/personal reasons, I cannot recommend Kitty terminal enough. The main thing that's a big of a pain is you'll probably want to set up a scrollback pager (I use neovim as mine but vim works too) so you easily search the terminal output and copy/paste from it. I use # https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/719#issuecomment-950123627 https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/719#issuecomment-... scrollback_pager nvim -u ~/.config/kitty/kitty-scrollback-pager.vimrc -c "silent write! /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer | te cat /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer -" and the scrollback pager vimrc: ``` set nonumber nolist showtabline=0 foldcolumn=0" set clipboard+=unnamedplus autocmd TermOpen * normal G map # ^ map q :qa!<CR> "silent write! /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer | te cat /tmp/kitty_scrollback_buffer - ```

Wezterm is also pretty good. It’s by far my favorite “new” terminal app I’ve tried.

  I really wanted to like wezterm, but on my system it bitches about fonts a lot, and doesn't seem to execute shell rc files properly.

I believe wezterm has that feature already. (Like there anything it doesn't have. :) )

  Interesting, I'll have to check it out. I looked at alacritty but I really like using terminal tabs and the alacritty dev is really really against them and I found the dev's attitude to be more than a bit abrasive. Not that Kovid (kitty's dev) does not come off the same way sometimes, but I tend to agree with Kovid a lot more.

    Do check out wezterm. I didn't want to go into comparing developers but wez the main developer is a huge reason I prefer wezterm. They have tabs, panes, sessions, a mux implementation among many many other features.

      Update: I am already switched. Didn't get anything done at work since I already went down the customization rabbit hole, but it's nice.

        Awesome! There are a bunch of user shared customizations in their github discussions area.

I was looking for a way to get a user prompt within wez and came across this page which has an example for what you asked for "Example of interactively renaming the current tab".
