wezterm VS Warp

-- https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/3299#issuecomment-2145712082 wezterm.on("gui-startup", function(cmd) local active = wezterm.gui.screens().active local tab, pane, window = wezterm.mux.spawn_window(cmd or {}) window:gui_window():set_position(active.x, active.y) window:gui_window():set_inner_size(active.width, active.height) end)

I tried WezTerm recently but I unfortunately could not type backslashes on an ISO keyboard. There were other minor annoyances such as new tabs always opening on the last directory I was at and not my home directory (this was something that could be configured, but I never managed to do it). Ultimately, it was the problem with the backslashes that drove me back to iTerm.

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:

Note: it does seem at least some development happens in the open https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp

> We are planning to first open-source our Rust UI framework, and then parts and potentially all of our client codebase. The server portion of Warp will remain closed-source for now.

https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/discussions/400

None of the server bits will be open, ever, but some of the UI code will be? Better than nothing.

...turns out, not really 100% though;

> "The first time you download Warp, you will need to be online to sign up and create your user account. After that initial setup, as long as you’re signed into the Warp app, Warp’s core terminal features will work as expected when you’re offline."

Also I've never quite found the AI stuff "smart" enough in the terminal to make me feel like it's contributing to anything I'm doing. More often than not the stuff it suggests is useless and worse than a naive autocomplete.

A terminal: in order to run Nuxt & Firebase commands

I'm trying out Warp for the first time, and an immediate accessibility issue for me is that the text is simply too small to read for a lot of the UI elements (context menu, side bar, tab bar…). The size should be configurable for all of the elements, not just the terminal view. I think I would also be fine with a setting that just scales the whole UI.

I did notice there is an issue for it already: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/1443
