Oh, very cool that it uses Lua for its configuration. That opens up a massive potential for new behaviours and customization. Emacs uses Lisp in a similar way. What other applications use a programming language for their configuration?
Neovim of course also supports Vimscript, although writing anything more complex is much nicer in Lua.

I guess this is what people mean when they say a piece of software is "opinionated"?
yep, it is his project. Those that like his opinions will like his software. those that do not will look elsewhere. The beauty of open source

Yeah: the kitty developer is definitely the sort who believes that he not only knows better than everyone else how to use a terminal, but that everyone else's opinions are fundamentally invalid. That his terminal fails to correctly render such stalwarts as the Linux "make menuconfig" UI and there are no settings to fix it as he doesn't believe in settings is, to me, telling. I then find reading his posts on issue tra…
Remember that this is the guy who said he would personally maintain python 2 because he didn't want to rewrite calibre for python 3 [0]. I try not to knock the guy, given that kitty and calibre in particular are amazing programs, but I still think you've gotta keep that in mind when engaging. FWIW, his conduct on the MobileRead forums where he answers questions from newbies and enhancement requests are far more polit…
Like the old Linus. He also over-reacted but there was atleast some reason behind that.

WezTerm is just so much faster than iTerm2, wish I had switched sooner! Video demonstrating the speedup: https://x.com/fleetwood___/status/1807772624518316495

"opinionated" != "jerk"
I like it too, and have switched from iTerm2 to WezTerm recently. I tried some others, but WezTerm has window splitting which I use quite a bit so settled on it. Lua config is nice, although I am a minimal config kind of a person, so only have a few settings in there. Yeah, iTerm2 has a lot of other fancy features, but I just rarely or never used them, so don't really feel like I miss anything.
ITerm has window splitting btw

I only use tmux on remote machines (because Terminal has all of the features I want and don’t need session management locally). Does anything integrate with remote tmux? It would be great to get native tabs for remote tmux windows.
Iterm2, as parent mentioned. Run tmux -CC on your remote server in your iterm2 and you’ll get native windows for tmux panels
In terms of use-case, I just disable all its keybindings and use it as a tmux terminal. I admit I didn't look for solutions, but I just can't go away from tmux's session restoration capabilities.
