Show HN: Alacritty, a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator written in Rust
I really disagree with the authors definition of minimal.<p>Terminal emulators have such a minimal user interface as it is it&#x27;s a bit boggling that I have to make the case for the following &quot;bloat&quot; that other terminal emulators have.<p>I need scrollback because I do occasionally pick up my mouse and grab things that have scrolled off the screen. Tmux doesn&#x27;t help with this but maybe there is some magic that I don&#x27;t know these days.<p>I need tabs. At any given time many of those tabs might have instances of tmux somewhere in their multiply nested depths, generally on remote hosts.<p>I&#x27;m not going to start tmux on every local prompt just so I can use Alacritty and thus intentionally starting a tmux in tmux funshow.<p>I use &quot;Monitor for Silence&quot; &quot;Monitor for Activity&quot; pretty consistently.<p>It&#x27;s free software so I glad the author is making something and hopefully enjoying the process. I can&#x27;t really use this or consider it until he reconsiders. Maybe he&#x27;ll get some collaborators that will argue him around on this.<p>Cool project otherwise.
