#alacritty — Public Fediverse posts

One of my favorite featues of #Alacritty is how it allows you to shrink its windows to any size, which allows you to use an Alacritty window as a ruler...

Just saw that they open sourced warp (the terminal that turned into LLM slop) and decided to look at some of the remaining terminal emulation pieces.

There's some *interesting* similarities in the terminal code I've looked at so far:

Warp:
https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp/blob/master/crates/warp_terminal/src/model/ansi/control_sequence_parameters.rs#L15

Alacritty:
https://github.com/alacritty/vte/blob/master/src/ansi.rs#L819

Interesting how quickly an Apache (and in parts MIT) license can turn into AGPL.

My personal highlight is the improvements to focus tracking for touch devices, which is very useful on Linux phones.

My laptop had filled with 4 years of cruft, conflicting configs, and unnecessary files. Things were slow so I decided to wipe it completely. I always loathe setting up new machines but honestly it was a breeze. Getting my dev environment and look and feel back up only took about an hour or so, and this thing boots so much faster now.

Moved from #alacritty to #kitty this week. But I really needed a better icon.
Picked the white one. 😺https://github.com/DinkDonk/kitty-icon

@jnunemaker I see no mention of #Alacritty here. I switched to it form iTerm2 (which I had been sponsoring and using for years and years) when iTerm2 introduced AI features.

Ogni tanto scopro qualche nuovo software, questo lo conosce qualcuno? - https://alacritty.org/ #alacritty

@ruralocity @mitchellh after one week of usage I can tell I'm not going back to #alacritty, I will keep myself using #ghostty for the foreseeable future.

I've been told your #Rails leader uses #Alacritty as his terminal emulator - part of their Linux "distribution"...

That above has accelerated my _need_ to move to something else since I had some other issues - besides being kind-of-slow in my environment...

So, starting today I'm changing to #Ghostty, by @mitchellh

https://ghostty.org

Ghostty is neat, and works perfectly with my current setup: #tmux + #ViM on both, macOS and Linux.

Graphical apps like #Alacritty now works, it just needs something called #NixGL installed, and then you have to run the application from the terminal with nixGL, example:

nixGL alacritty

~/.nix-profile/share/applications/Alacritty.desktop

Testing out #Nix on #SteamOS/#SteamDeck, and so far so good! It's been helpful in getting any of the missing non-graphical packages I need, such as to install and get my #KDE/#Dolphin service menu working (https://github.com/irfanhakim-as/kde-service-menu-reimage) - where I needed a couple of missing deps like #ImageMagick and #Exiftool.

Most of the graphical apps I need are easily found/installable on #Flatpak though, except something like #Alacritty. I previously installed it on this system using #Distrobox and it worked great, I thought to test installing a graphical app off of Nix - but it doesn't seem that worked with Alacritty. From my search it's something to do with GL/Vulkan apps outside of #NixOS or something of the like. There were also some apps that aren't available as Flatpaks, are available on #ArchLinux 's #AUR, but aren't available on Nix.

There will also be things that don't work too, I think for reasons that may be obvious to others, such as adding HEIC support to KDE apps like Dolphin (for previews) and #Gwenview (for image viewing). On a 'normal' Linux system, this is done by installing libheif and kimageformats (pretty sure u need both). Installing them on this SteamOS machine tho off of Nix, doesn't really help the system's Dolphin and Gwenview app to be able to serve/open HEIC files.

Still, I know I'm just barely scratching the surface of what I could do with Nix - even as just a 'package manager'. I understand why maybe #Valve is holding themselves back from pre-installing Nix for now tho (unlike something like #Podman or #Distrobox, which they were surprisingly - in a good way, happy to do) bcos the situation with the Nix project, atm, is a lil confusing.. but as recommended by others on here, I think I'm having a good luck/time with the #Lix project's 'flavour' of Nix.

Alacritty Contributors released #Alacritty version 0.16.1. https://alacritty.org/

Alacritty 0.16, a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator, adds support for Unicode 17, new Vi motions, and system-wide configuration options.

@akhil Ставил, использовал котёнка:
да, гибко настраивается, много чего умеет, но никакого ускорения от gpu там я не заметил 🙄
Сменил стандартный на днях на #Alacritty. Вот он действительно быстрый и отзывчивый, потому что простой и минимальный. Из минусов — нет картинки фоном.

Sometimes my terminal is behaving very oddly that depending on the application I use it has issues rendering Umlaute, other unicode symbols seem to be fine.
I might get something like this instead then: "Leertaste fr n�hste Seite" - like this is one ü just missing and an ä being rendering wrongly but also the c next to it missing. Does someone have an idea? I am on #FreeBSD with #Alacritty and #fishshell - but it doesnt seem to be specific to Alacritty or fish.

Been getting this error a couple of times already on #macOS (in a terminal) recently, the heck?

Permission denied: Downloads/ - code: 13

Skipped 1 directories due to permission denied:

Found out that #ghostty has #systemd utility, using notify-reload. And it works with #snap. 😄 I now have the terminal opening as fast I once did with #alacritty. I can't turn back anymore... 😅

I saw a YT clip about Kitty, which is an alternative to Alacritty (the default terminal in Omarchy), and I have to say it is really nice in Kitty as it runs off the GPU. This means it can show me previews of images right there in the TUI.

Sweet!

#Kitty #Alacritty #Omarchy #Arch #Yazi

Started using #archcraft and its cool as heck
But #alacritty borked and idk how to make it be not the dumb anymore. Any #linux help?
Tried reinstalling & changing shell.

Fun #activities from last night:
Spending 4 hours trying to come up with a way to install #Alacritty on #Aurora #Linux without layering packages.
I ended up installing #rustup from #homebrew, using rustup to setup #cargo and then using cargo to install Alacritty. And I had to make .desktop file myself.
Only caveat - no way to include updating cargo and crates in "ujust update" (or I'm not smart enough). So after updating I have to manually run "rustup update" and "cargo install alacritty"

I see a lot of fuzz about #Ghostty #TerminalEmulator, and I'm sure it's great. But all that GTK and window/tab management stuff, no, thanks. I like fast and simple terminals, and letting my window manager take care of tabs, splits, etc. Been using #urxvt, #st, #kitty, #alacritty, #wezterm and then back to kitty. Give me a fast, spartan terminal with UTF-8, ligature support and a big buffer. That's all I need.

@aks I have a very simple setup. Nothing to see really.

• WM: #leftwm
• Distro: #arch
• Background: My creation with #krita created long long years ago, and still using it.
• At the top I have #polybar with a lot of extra custom scripts
• Terminal: #alacritty
• Shell: fish (moved from zsh recently)

Hi all! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I graduated law school earlier this year. I practice at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.

I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for 2 years now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.

• RSS feed

My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

Been tinkering a bit with Alacritty and it’s honestly pretty close to replacing iTerm as my terminal of choice. It feels a bit faster, but that could just be a perception thing.

If it had window splitting (yeah, I know I could use tmux, but no thanks) and session restore, it would be a no brainer.

#iterm #alacritty #macos

WezTerm https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ surpasse tous les terminaux que j'ai pu tester jusqu'ici. Je suis passé de #urxvt à #alacritty (pour la fame et rust) puis à #kitty dernièrement pour le support des ligatures. Kitty était pénible pour plein de choses (assez lent pour certains trucs, un ssh mal géré, écrit en python, etc)
WezTerm est génial : support des ligatures, des images, rapide, configurable, doc top et compatible #linux #macos et même #windows !

I've been trying CachyOS. CachyOS comes with Alacritty. My curiosity got the best of me and I've been trying Alacritty too ^_^

I posted a quick blog today on my first attempt at installing it from scratch 👍
