dotfiles VS senixos

Yep I'm using VimTeX + UltiSnips. My configs are https://github.com/g6ai/dotfiles, look into vim directory for VimTeX config and UltiSnips snippets. The \cite{ completion is handled by coc.nvim and its extension coc-vimtex, relevant configs are all in my vimrc there. Any questions are welcome.

Can't really pinpoint your issue, but you can check my tmux.conf because it works for powerlevel10k zsh prompt

My tmux.conf and zsh powerlevel10k settings render like this.

Interestingly, I encountered this problem only in Vim, while Neovim is fine. Of course a workaround is apply !redraw. But I think this might be related to our dotfiles. I won't bother solving this right now, if you are interested here are my dotfiles.

I have experience on this. Basic Vim usage is smooth only if you SSH into it. Any WM is too much for it. Big Vim plugins make it quite laggy, so I'm maintaining my dotfiles that uses a minimal Vim setup for small machine like Zero W.

My own experience is kitty and Alacritty are all fast enough (low enough latency) and do not eat too much system resources. So I think maybe a capability comparison is more useful (common character/glyph display capability, not terminal special) , and I just wrote one here.

Here I summarized some tips on this: https://github.com/g6ai/dotfiles/wiki/vimrc#cursor-setting and https://github.com/g6ai/dotfiles/wiki/inputrc . You could reference my dotfiles here: https://github.com/g6ai/dotfiles
