tmux-fzf-url VS iTerm2

Not necessarily a "clickable" URL, but I use the tmux-fzf-url plugin and I think it's super useful

I’ve tried other new and fancy terminals, but iTerm2 does the job. I use the Fira Code font (with ligatures enabled), and the Dracula colour palette.

Currently installed apps: Alfred for searching applications/files and launching websites quickly i Stat menus to monitor my hardware Geo Gebra Classic 6 for school Rectangle for better window management Obsidian for note taking Resolve for video editing and all utilities that come with it Bitwarden as my go-to password manager Microsoft Word, Excel PowerPoint and Teams for school Dropover for moving or sending more files quickly Gestimer for work sessions iTerm as a better terminal than the built-in one Python and all things that come with the install Parallels Desktop and all stuff that comes with the install for running windows only applications Visual Studio Code for coding Blender for 3D Image Optim CurseForge for modded Minecraft Minecraft Find any file Mac Updater 3; would love to have the pro version

You will need two terminal windows to run Superset, I like to use iTerm2's horizontal window stacking to keep my terminal windows together: https://iterm2.com/

Alacritty doesn’t yet support ligatures, tabs or split panes - so be warned if that’s a show stopper for you. It does happily render Nerd Font symbols though. Alacritty is so fast I also decided to make the switch from iTerm2 on my mac.

iTerm2 - Price: Free Terminal emulator for macOS features multiple panes, search, and more.

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.

My journey of using terminal emulators began together with my introduction to Linux about 7 years ago. GNOME terminal was my first as it came pre-installed on Ubuntu, my first Linux distribution. Since then, I've had the opportunity to explore and utilize a range of terminal emulators, including Alacritty, Kitty, st, Konsole, xterm, and most recently iTerm2. It's been interesting to experiment with these different emulators, each offering its unique features (or similar however with each with personal touch), user interfaces, and performance benchmarks. Just the other day, a new terminal emulator caught my attention: Warp Terminal. My curiosity won, and Warp was downloaded, this short blog are my thoughts about Warp terminal. At the moment there is only support for macOS, however linux and windows builds are on the way.
