  • Warp, the modern terminal, is now available for Linux
    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 / about 1 month ago
  • I Just Wanted Emacs to Look Nice – Using 24-Bit Color in Terminals
    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 / about 2 months ago
  • Waveterm
    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 / 4 months ago
  • Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
    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 / 6 months ago
  • Linux Terminal Emulators Have the Potential of Being Much Faster
    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 / 6 months ago
  • Show HN: Whiz – A copilot for your command line
    I loved Warp for it's speed, but the keybindings and lack of configuration didn't work for me. For example, it doesn't support "ctrl+x ctrl+e" which I use daily for editing long prompts in vim. I recently switched to (Kitty)[https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/] and I don't think I'm ever going back. It's not flashy and doesn't have any AI features. It's just a donation-funded, wickedly fast, highly configurable,... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • Tmux has forever changed the way I write code [video]
    I may be alone on this, but kitty¹ with sessions has nearly eliminated my use of tmux. [1] https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
  • A collection of useful Mac Apps
    Kitty - Price: Free Fast, feature-rich, GPU-based terminal emulator for macOS. Source: 9 months ago
  • Tabby: A terminal for a more modern age
    I used iTerm2 on a daily basis for many years, but started using Kitty in late 2021 and now prefer it: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Which terminal do you use? I don't like Warp
    I personally love using Alacritty. Super fast, and no bloat. Takes a little bit of setup such as setting up a Font if you want icons to appear. Kitty is supposed to be really good, but I've never used it before. Source: 9 months ago
  • Mac shortcuts in cli vim
    These remaps work for me in the kitty terminal emulator. Source: 10 months ago
  • Everything I Installed on My New Mac
    Alacritty is my terminal of choice. It's super customizable and plenty fast. It doesn't get in your way and just lets you get things done. It doesn't have tabs like iTerm or Kitty but I don't mind that because I use it with tmux which I have previously written about in my workflow post. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
  • Manjaro as my Dev Enviroment
    I use kitty, with a Nord theme, transparency, and Zsh with Oh My Zsh, using the clean theme. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
  • How to "sync" TE size(grid) with my font(cells)?
    The kitty terminal can do that with the config option resize_in_steps yes set. That only works in X11, though; and only when the window can freely resize itself, i.e. Not in fullscreen mode or when maximized. I don't know what will happen if the window is coerced into a geometry by your WM, I don't use a tiling WM myself to test. Source: 11 months ago
  • Is there a way of rendering LaTeX in the gnome-terminal?
    Using pnglatex to create an image file, and then Kitty's kitten icat to render the image. Example:. Source: 12 months ago
  • Recommendation for an app to execute a workflow with some hotkey !
    iTerm and Terminal.app can be controlled through AppleScript, but I personally use kitty which has session files where you can define tabs/panes with specific commands to be run inside. Iterm might also have something similar. Source: 12 months ago
  • Colorfull Terminal
    But I think im gonna stick with mostly tabby and kitty, usually with Dracula theme. Source: 12 months ago
  • Half Life 2 running at around 2 FPS in my terminal
    I'm using kitty with zsh, and it's basically using the 'icat' command to display 'scrot' images. Source: about 1 year ago
  • WezTerm is a GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator
    Kitty is also worth a look, though it doesn't run on Windows: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/ I used iTerm2 on macOS for many years and still keep it around, but switched to kitty as my daily driver in late 2021 and have been very happy with it. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • Terminal emulator with Native Wayland and Ligature Support
    Try kitty! It's GPU accelerated, supports ligatures, and has native Wayland support. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Which terminal do you usually use?
    Kitty if you want to pimp your terminal. Source: about 1 year ago
