I found low latency terminals make a big improvement to even simple tasks like typing.
- daef 2y agowhat would you count as low latency terminal?
- layer8 2y agoSee https://beuke.org/terminal-latency/ https://beuke.org/terminal-latency/. Single-digit milliseconds I’d say. These numbers are minus the keyboard and display latency.
- rustc 2y agoHas anyone run this test on Ghostty?
- _emacsomancer_ 2y agoI get a "Cannot detect the reference pattern" error when I try with Ghostty with Typometer.
- chupasaurus 2y agoSome of those include display latency (e.g. Konsole) because you can't throw lazy rendering out of some terminals.
- daef 2y agothanks!
- XorNot 2y agoI was pretty shocked by the eyestrain difference I felt going from 30hz to 60hz with a 4K monitor while only doing coding tasks (i.e. text and mouse, no real graphics or animations).
- askonomm 2y agoI recently went from 60 to 144, also on a 4k (27") monitor, and to me too it has been a very noticeable upgrade. No tearing of any kind when dragging windows around, and scrolling feels buttery smooth.
