what terminal emulator would you recommend?
Wezterm is pretty good, I've been using it for a long time without any issues. The feature set is honestly huge and I'm probably using 10% of the capabilities, but I like having a lot of options. Source: 5 months ago
Terminal emulators that break from the traditional rendering approach?
And my own humble entry in this space is wezterm: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm which has a decent population of users in Japan and a handful of arabic/RTL users for the unfinished bidi support. Source: 11 months ago
Switching from Emacs. My experience
Either Wezterm OR Window-terminal I Personally use WindowTERM with alacritty * when needed Since WindowTerm has some weird ncurses issues ,. Source: 11 months ago
Terminal app built over WebGPU, WebAssembly and Rust
AFAIK wezterm[1] and warp[2] are built on top of the WebGPU [1] https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ [2] https://www.warp.dev. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
📽️ Warp: The AI-Powered Rust-based Terminal
WezTerm is another terminal you could consider, but it is very different than Warp. It is also built using rust. The config is in lua (like Neovim). It has built-in font fallback and font ligatures. It also has a built-in multiplexer, but I've not tried it yet. It does not have any of the block or AI features that Warp does. Source: 12 months ago
