Let's See Your Terminal
This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.
-
Just How Much Faster Are the Gnome 46 Terminals?
I use Tmux. It's a terminal-agnostic multiplexer. Gives you persistence and automation superpowers.

Easy Access to Terminal Commands in Neovim using FTerm
Having a common set of tools already set up in different windows or sessions in Tmux or Zellij is obviously an option, but there is a subset of us ( 👋 ) that would rather just have fingertip access to our common tools inside of our editor.

Zellij – A terminal workspace with batteries included (tmux alternative)
After having spent too much time trying to get the simple https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/ features into mainline tmux (last November https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/3753), maybe it'd be easier to jump ship as use zellij?
Could anyone offer recommendations on "riced" zellij configuations, or just a demo where it shows doing with (say charts of disk usage per folder), watching a movie with mpv + keeping a vim to type on?

Automating the startup of a dev workflow
Well, I now use tmux and tmuxinator. I have had many failed tmux attempts over the years, but I'm firmly bedded in now.
-
Clipboards, Terminals, and Linux
Which leads me to clipboards. Linux has two of them! Adding to the interest, I typically use Neovim remotely, via an SSH connection to a Tmux session. And on my Linux system, I use urxvt as my terminal program. All of these are very UNIX-y tools, and somehow they all need to play nicely together.

Connecting Debugger to Rails Applications
The downside of overmind is that it requires tmux, which is a terminal multiplexer tool. If you don't already use tmux, I'd say it's probably not worth learning it just for the purposes of using overmind. But if you're like me and already know/use tmux, this can be a great solution to pursue.

Pimp your CLI
As a developer, the command line is one of the tools you will be using most frequently. It can be intimidating to venture into the world of CLI tooling but I can assure you it is one of the most rewarding experiences too. In this post I want to walk ya'll through my personal CLI setup. It is based on 3 technologies which I'll coin as the "Holy Trinity" of the command line: TMUX, ZSH, & Neovim.

Day 5 - More or less...
After that, you can go up a notch and try to have several shell sessions open at the same time in the same terminal window with a terminal multiplexer. Try screen - that's a little simpler and maybe too terse in the beginning - or tmux, that have many features and colors. There are so much material out there on "how to customize your tmux", have fun.

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
> Ligatures: ok, nice, possible in terms too (hopefully Alacritty one day)
I wouldn't hold my breath. Seems like its getting the iPad calculator treatment[0]. Which is to say rather than ship something working that can be improved, they're leaving a UX void.

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)
My daily driver is WezTerm…
- Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows 10 and FreeBSD
- [Multiplex terminal panes, tabs and windows on local and remote hosts, with native mouse and scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/multiplexing.html)
- [Ligatures](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode#fira-code-monospaced-font...), Color Emoji and font fallback, with true color and [dynamic color schemes](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/appearance.html#colors).
- [Hyperlinks](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/hyperlinks.html)
- [Searchable Scrollback](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/scrollback.html) (use mouse wheel and `Shift-PageUp` and `Shift PageDown` to navigate, Ctrl-Shift-F to activate search mode)
- xterm style selection of text with mouse; paste selection via `Shift-Insert` (bracketed paste is supported!)
- SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux)
- Render underline, double-underline, italic, bold, strikethrough (most other terminal emulators do not support as many render attributes)
- Configuration via a [configuration file](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html) with hot reloading
- Multiple Windows (Hotkey: `Super-N`)
- Splits/Panes (Split horizontally/vertically: `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-%` and `Ctrl-Shift-Alt-"`, move between panes: `Ctrl-Shift-ArrowKey`)
- Tabs (Hotkey: `Super-T`, next/prev: `Super-Shift-[` and `Super-Shift-]`, go-to: `Super-[1-9]`)
- [SSH client with native tabs](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ssh.html)
- [Connect to serial ports for embedded/Arduino work](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/serial.html)
- Connect to a local multiplexer server over unix domain sockets
- Connect to a remote multiplexer using SSH or TLS over TCP/IP
- iTerm2 compatible image protocol support, and built-in [imgcat command](https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/imgcat.html)
- Kitty graphics support
- Sixel graphics support (experimental: starting in `20200620-160318-e00b076c`)

alacritty-themes not working any more!!!

Pimp your CLI
A decent terminal application (i.e: iterm2, alacritty, etc.)
-
what terminal emulator do you use and why?
For this reason, and because I think the Zellij project is interesting, I currently use a combination of Alacritty and Zellij, as I consider the risk of OSC52 in my use case to be relatively low.
-
How to install Alacritty on X11 without building from source?
It's not. You can see that the PPA is published by Antoine Latter, whose name is not in the Alacritty contributors list.
So I want to install a terminal emulator called Alacritty on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Their github release page is mostly showing wayland based versions.
-
Lightweight dev tools.
I did find that XFCE’s terminal emulator was pretty slow, so I installed Alacritty - a lightweight terminal written in Rust.
-
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.
What are some alternatives?
kitty - Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal
wezterm - A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust
Warp - Warp is a modern, Rust-based terminal with AI built in so you and your team can build great software, faster.
zellij - A terminal workspace with batteries included
starship - ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!
FiraCode - Free monospaced font with programming ligatures
neofetch - 🖼️ A command-line system information tool written in bash 3.2+
st - build of the suckless simple terminal with patches for alpha, font2, copyurl, openclipboard, invert, appsync, xresources, scrollback, w3m, keyboard select, boxdraw
foot - Unofficial Mirror: A fast, lightweight and minimalistic Wayland terminal emulator
tilix - A tiling terminal emulator for Linux using GTK+ 3
ohmyzsh - 🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,300+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.
