A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust

Features

  • Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows 10 and FreeBSD
  • Multiplex terminal panes, tabs and windows on local and remote hosts, with native mouse and scrollback
  • Ligatures, Color Emoji and font fallback, with true color and dynamic color schemes.
  • Hyperlinks
  • Searchable Scrollback (use mouse wheel and Shift-PageUp and Shift PageDown to navigate, Ctrl-Shift-F to activate search mode)
  • xterm style selection of text with mouse; paste selection via Shift-Insert (bracketed paste is supported!)
  • SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux)
  • Render underline, double-underline, italic, bold, strikethrough (most other terminal emulators do not support as many render attributes)
  • Configuration via a configuration file with hot reloading
  • Multiple Windows (Hotkey: Super-N)
  • Splits/Panes (Split horizontally/vertically: Ctrl-Shift-Alt-% and Ctrl-Shift-Alt-", move between panes: Ctrl-Shift-ArrowKey)
  • Tabs (Hotkey: Super-T, next/prev: Super-Shift-[ and Super-Shift-], go-to: Super-[1-9])
  • SSH client with native tabs
  • Connect to serial ports for embedded/Arduino work
  • Connect to a local multiplexer server over unix domain sockets
  • Connect to a remote multiplexer using SSH or TLS over TCP/IP
  • iTerm2 compatible image protocol support, and built-in imgcat command
  • Kitty graphics support
  • Sixel graphics support (experimental: starting in 20200620-160318-e00b076c)

For me, I tried WezTerm for flexible configuration with lua.

Out of the rust terminals I have tried, alacritty has thr lowest memory consumption and has all the features I need (ligature not included).
