Kitty terminal VS Foot

A terminal with built-in telemetry and a pricing model... Just what I never wanted! To avoid being too negative, I'll offer the option of Kitty[1]. My current favorite terminal. Supports many features. Including my personal favorites: * ctrl+c (as opposed to stupid things like ctrl+shift+c) to copy data only when you have content selected. Otherwise, ctrl+c sends a sigint like normal. * font ligature support (a... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

IME, this is like the golden age of terminal apps in general and macOS-compatible ones in particular. There are several really good terminals for macOS: [iTerm2 app](https://iterm2.com/) [Kitty terminal](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) [WezTerm terminal](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html) [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty) -... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I haven’t tried this yet (so please take my commentary with a grain of salt), but my initial thoughts are: (1) it looks interesting, (2) it looks overwhelming (there’s a lot going on in those screenshots), and (3) it’s likely slow (I might be completely wrong). To elaborate a bit… 1. I love good design work and well-designed (UI-wise) software, and it certainly looks like the creators of Wave Terminal have made... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

There are lots of terminal projects recently. Ghostty (https://mitchellh.com/ghostty) and Terminal Click (https://terminal.click) come to mind. Also Warp and Fig but they don't appeal to me because they're proprietary (and Fig got acquired by Amazon). I've been very happy with kitty (https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) for years and it would take a lot to make me switch. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

I favor kitty[0] and zutty[1]. Gnome terminal / libvte is and has always been slow, and alacritty might have good throughput, but sadly is high latency. 0. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/ 1. https://tomscii.sig7.se/zutty/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

It would be an interesting addition forbthe benchmark, although it's Wayland only. [0] https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

But it's only for wayland, so I need to use alacritty on macOS. [0] https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Alacritty is not minimal in its memory consumption. Foot is probably the best wayland minimal terminal emulator with an average memory consumption of ~2mb per instance. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Did you have a look at this page? It includes a themes folder. Also this page specifically mentions transparency. Source: about 1 year ago

Hi! HHKB user since 2004. Linux user since '95. I've been using tiling window managers for about 20 years. I've tried a few. Ratpoison first, then ion, then xmonad, then spectrwm (which is my favourite), but since I moved to wayland a couple of years ago, I've settled on sway (https://swaywm.org/). Meta-Return spawns a terminal (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot, which is blazingly fast, using very little resources).... Source: over 1 year ago
