viu VS wezterm

I've been using viu, which is also written in Rust: https://github.com/atanunq/viu

How does imgcatr compare?

Viu was last updated 5 months ago, imgcatr 3 months ago, not a significant difference. imgcatr is a longer name than viu, requiring more keystrokes to type.

Terminal image viewer with native support for iTerm and Kitty

in another terminal i sourced and installed a terminal image viewer. this was before i knew the image was gone. anyways, the one i picked is called "viu" (github).

Lastly, yeah, i discovered after that some tools already does this, like viu, i just did not search with the right keyword when i was looking for one. By looking at the simplicity of the tool it was kinda obvious i was not the first person coming with this idea anyway.

Viu works in Alacritty on Plasma Wayland for me.

fzf-lua with ueberzug or viu

It is just fuzzy from zooming up screenshots, a by product of the subpixel aliasing.

If it doesn't, you could probably add a post processing filter to https://github.com/wez/wezterm or https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty

O emulador de terminal que uso, WezTerm

wezterm (Linux, Macos & Windows)

A month ago, I came across WezTerm, a new GPU-accelerated, cross-platform terminal emulator written in Rust (and I’m not a Rust fanboy, for real!). It piqued my interest, so I decided to give it a try.

Select all seems a bit risky in a terminal because it could contain way more information than you'd expect.

e.g. I want to `cat` a file to make sure i've got the right one, but I accidentally cat a full 1gb sql backup rather than the tiny 50 line script I was expecting. Sometime later, I try to select all, copy, switch application, paste for some reason but now I'm stuck waiting for 1gb to copy over

Personally I'm a bit more cautious about copying from a terminal.

Either way if that's what you really want to do, you can check the repo to see how other people scripted it into wezterm:

I used Lua for years to configure my awesomewm desktop environment. Then, I started using it to configure my Wezterm. Since I bumped into an Emacs bug (lsp-mode bug to be fair), I switched quickly to Neovim after 20 years of Emacs, and I am using Lua to configure my Neovim. Last but not least, OpenResty gives my Nginx superpowers with Lua.

wezterm (Linux, Macos & Windows)

I started using wezterm recently and really like it. It's cross platform and supports sixel graphics.

While WezTerm is a great terminal with sane defaults, it doesn't provide the default key binding to open the configuration file and edit it. That is understandable, everyone may have their own preference for that. Here we will figure out the recipe that would work everywhere and abide by modern standards.
