    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

    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:
