TERMINAL COMPARISON

MacOS Terminal

TODO

iTerm

Pros

  • Lots of configuration knobs

Cons

  • Too slow to run fullscreen on a 4K monitor
  • Clicking iTerm icon in the Dock will move across spaces instead of opening a new iTerm window
  • executable has no flags/options so not possible to set up keyboard shortcuts

Alacritty

Pros

  • fast enough to run neovim fullscreen on 4K monitor
  • executable supports just enough arguments to support launch shortcuts

Cons

  • Full-screen mode on MacOS (SimpleFullscreen) hides the Menu Bar and Dock which is on another monitor
  • Command-~ shortcut to switch windows in the same app doesn't hop between Alacritty windows
  • System keyboard shortcuts don't work in Alacritty so you need to duplicate each one into the alacritty.yml file
  • Command-clicking a URL doesn't seem to work if the URL is inside a tmux window

Gnome-terminal

Pros

  • executable supports enough arguments to support launch shortcuts
  • TODO

Cons
