lower is better https://github.com/frarees/typometer https://github.com/frarees/typometer Typometer Typometer is a tool to measure and analyze the visual latency of text editors. Editor latency is the delay between an input event and a corresponding screen update — in particular, the delay between keystroke and character appearance. While there are many kinds of delays (caret movement, line editing, etc.), typing latency is a major predictor of editor usability. Check the article typing with pleasure to learn more about editor latency and its effects on typing performance.

> While there are many excellent terminal emulators available, they all force you to choose between speed, features, or native UIs. Ghostty provides all three. In all categories, I am not trying to claim that Ghostty is the best (i.e. the fastest, most feature-rich, or most native). But Ghostty is competitive in all three categories and Ghostty doesn't make you choose between them. Ghostty doesn’t claim to be the fastest. https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty
