I haven't found the purpose/value of having any specific terminal emulator, but I've been experimenting with different ones.

The idea of Alacritty is appealing (written in Rust!) but I can't deal with this one issue:

What is up with Alacritty 's default color configuration and how do I make it normal?

WARP is a new Closed-source Terminal written in Rust with AI built in, and it functions a lot like an IDE, rather than a traditional terminal.

The link above contains a really impressive demo video. The features are too numerous to list here, I highly suggest you click through and read the article at OMGUbuntu and watch the video.

I switched from urxvt to kitty for better colour support. I have my doubts that terminal should have this many features, but oh well. Switching to xterm doesn't seem like a win, security-wise. Current annoyances: what is this term=xterm-kitty nonsense? Am I really supposed to update terminfo on every machine I login to? Probably there is a configuration that I was too lazy to look for...

#foot 1.10.3[^1] is out!

This release finishes the kitty keyboard protocol work that 1.10.2 started.

We also have a couple of crash fixes.

If you are using full-screen applications that makes use of OSC-8 URLs (for example, senpai[^2]), you *definitely* want to update...

#foot 1.8.2 is out 🎉

This release brings a couple of memory usage improvements, and fixes for memory leaks.

But (almost) more importantly, it has an improved renderer that handles "overflowing", or "bleeding" glyphs. This includes certain "wide" italic fonts, where the glyphs "lean" into the next cell, icon fonts, and legacy single-width emojis.

This supersedes the tweak.allow-overflowing-double.width-gyphs" hack.
