#dotfiles wip is going well.
Switched to #alacritty with #nushell , created a new #tmux config as the old was a mess
Looks good, still a few this open to consolidate
So, I'm looking for a terminal to test and maybe adopt for the future.
As usual from #debian and looking right now at #alacritty and #kitty
Anything "better" out there? Some must have? Curious to see what you think
@emocoder I came across #ghostty only recently looking for a lightweight terminal with ligatures support (what ruled out #alacritty for that purpose). It has indeed very reasonable defaults, is fast and quite stable. Highly recommended!
SSS (The Supreme Sexp System) proudly announces version v2.3.15 of the project:
https://codeberg.org/jjba23/sss
SSS is a Lisp machine adventure with #gnu #linux, #guix where the #hacking culture is celebrated.
We now have a start in a declarative #firefox configuration written in #lisp ( #guile #scheme ).
Advanced #emacs #hyprland #wayland #rofi #alacritty #waybar and more, in a hacker friendly setup.
@itsfoss #alacritty with #zsh
This is a post about my setup (spanish) https://col.social/@cosmoscalibur/114422417444168368
SSS (v2.1.29) now rocks a fully modular #emacs config with some nice additions, like controling #spotify from Emacs (with smudge) and some UI tweaks as well as better #rofi, #mako, #alacritty and #waybar and more love to light themes as well as #everforest maybe this makes some #rde users curious :)
This is weird but alt + backspace
no longer works on #Alacritty if you're using a #Fish shell, it does work on #Bash. I don't think this is a Fish "issue" either, since that keybind still works as expected, with Fish, on #Konsole. Anyone knows how to fix this?
---
edit:
I just realised that this is prolly not an issue with Alacritty + Fish on a "vanilla" setup - this only occurs when using #Toshy, a neat utility I've been using for a (long) while now that configures and mimics a #macOS like keybinds on a #Linux system through a service (that can easily be stopped/started, etc.).
I've reported this issue on their repo to see if they're able to figure this out. It most likely has something to do with the new Fish 4.0.0 release, since I'm still using the same Alacritty (and Toshy) version since this issue started. https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy/issues/573
I also switched from default Gnome Console to #ghostty, which is fantastic new terminal. I wanted to like both #alacritty and #wezterm, but with both it was a lot of papercuts and they never felt right for me so I mostly stayed with Gnome Console (which had best font rendering for my 125% scaled desktop). Ghostty looks and feels great out of the box, and I only changed maybe 5 settings from their defaults. #neovim feels great on Ghostty too, fast, featureful, without any hassle.
This clipboard issue I'm currently having on #KDE/#Linux/#Wayland is awfully bad btw, I didn't even realise earlier how it's an "all-encompassing" clipboard issue and not only with certain apps or anything like that.
It happens if I copy and paste a word on #VScode. It happens if I do the same on #Firefox. It happens if I do the same on #Dolphin (file manager). It happens if I do the same on my terminals like #Alacritty or #Konsole. It happens even if I click-to-copy an emoji on KDE's Emoji Selector. It even happens with any "Copy Link" option found on any "share sheet" on any website/social media.
I thought it might have been something to do with perhaps the action of copying using keybinds (i.e. Ctrl + C
) but clearly not. In all those examples I've provided, I have to do the action to copy, whatever that may be, twice. Doing it once, does nothing as it will paste whatever was copied to the clipboard before it, not the latest of what you (thought to) have copied.
This is beyond ridiculous.
RE: https://sakurajima.social/notes/a380dycxbw
#alacritty doesn't have a Quake mode, so I did it myself https://store.kde.org/p/2236439/
(KWin only, but should work with any terminal software, or really anything that has one main window that opens at startup)
Happy new year! Still 3h15 left in 2024 around here, but I wish everyone has a fulfilling 2025!
Meet Ghostty 1.0: The GPU-accelerated terminal emulator exits beta after two years, challenging Kitty and Alacritty with its speed and features.
https://linuxiac.com/ghostty-1-0-gpu-accelerated-terminal-emulator-released/
Imagine a future where we are developing on a #System76 computer running #RedoxOS with #COSMICdesktop and either a #alacritty or a #wezterm terminal running #nushell with #zellij as the multiplexer and #helixeditor as the development environment.
Running #rustlang from top to bottom on your computer. Hopefully it's a future not too far away.
I like #Alacritty, but the config format changes so much between versions, it's impossible to use the same config file between the box you compiled it from scratch on, the box you just used the debian-provided version on, and the box you use the OpenBSD-provided version on without tons of error messages almost every time you open it.
How to automate terminal workflow using #alacritty and #tmux
- using hints to automate files/URLs opening
- hot swappable themes
- vi and copy mode
- opacity settings
I’ve been on Fedi for a year now and have fallen in love with the platform, so here’s my introduction! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I’m about to start my final semester of law school. I’ll be practicing at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases once I’m barred. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.
I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for over a year now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.
My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

When 2 hours after upgrade trixie (Debian testing) goes brrrrrrr... next update.
I have been using Windows Terminal (Preview) for a while. Trying out Alacritty 0.14 now only to stumble upon Rio which also looks great and promising!
(all of them with nushell of course)
Any Windows users out there who can share their experience? What Terminal do you use and why?
I'd like to, yeah. I just kinda forgot the beauty of having a machine set up for focus, and not dithering.
I'll have to uninstall toot from it, and I might temporarily remove my authorized_keys entry from my rPi machine so I don't hop over to it to use tut, either.
I've also found that #Alacritty seems to be the perfect terminal for #OpenBSD... nice blend of fairly modern options and decent unicode support. For some reason, unicode just doesn't work right on #lxterminal on that OS.
