  • alacritty

    A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

    I agree, I am definitely happy with my terminal experience in general, and there is an equivalent for most of the features using a combination of TMux/ZShell/vi mode, etc etc...

    It actually feels like I'm living less of my life in UIs these days, and more in the terminal than I did in the 90s/early 2ks.

    I've definitely felt some performance improvement using Alacritty: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty

    The swiss army chainsaw of terminal emulators

    If you want to play with the idea of having command output divided into blocks, you can go try it in my terminal Extraterm (https://extraterm.org/) which has had it for years. Or just have a look at the gifs on the features page to get an idea of what is possible: https://extraterm.org/features.html (halfway down page)
