Second post is about how I use #wezTerm and some tricks to integrate with #powershell. The next post will probably cover how I use #starship.

Bit the bullet. After 15 odd years I ditched #tmux in favor of #wezterm. Considering my work setup in wsl2, the performance is night and day vs windows terminal & tmux.

With the powerful lua configuration I could copy over all my keybindings and workspaces which is nice.

New #wezterm release today! Many fixes and improvements.
Thanks to the dozen or so other contributors!
See https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/changelog.html#20230712-072601-f4abf8fd for the massive change log.

I'm in the process of moving my terminal workflows over to #wezterm. As far as I can see there's no better option for the tmux-deprived Windows developer.

In some regards, I already prefer Wezterm's multiplexer to tmux. Configuration in Lua is so much more intuitive and flexible. I've configured it to function as much like Tmux as possible, cloning all the keybindings I like.

I'm now working on porting my terminal rice over. I've just got a clock and leader key indicator for now.

@fedora #wezTerm is amazing!

Things I wished were packaged in #Fedora are #wezTerm the #HelixEditor the #awscliv2 and the #GitHubCLI

Woo, #wezterm ignores "s at the end of URLs now. :heart_cybre:

#wezterm

After 3 months of using, I am comfortably replace vim(nvim)/Alacritty/tmux with #helix #wezterm and #zellij

Any folks fluent in both #rust and #wayland on #GNOME want to show #WezTerm some love?

Thanks Wez for adding #Fedora38 to the #wezTerm builds

So, here're good news regarding #wezterm

The issue with non-latin layout is fixed, so I'll try to use it in daily-work!

@yukaii@mastodon.social has produced a fish plugin for creating #wezterm tabs and splits... by prompting GPT4.

The transcript from the prompting session can be found at https://sharegpt.com/c/UFBSNrN and it's pretty interesting to see the the "collaborative" process and refinement of the solution.

The fish plugin itself can be found at https://github.com/Yukaii/wezl.fish

Today i typed Ctrl+Shift+u in #wezTerm , and it displayed an interface for symbol search. I wonder why this is not the default for all apps, it's such a great feature.

Some day, I’d like to figure out how to configure #wezTerm so that I can have #neovim split pane with a terminal in the other pane, run tests (#typescript with #jest in this case), and be able to click/activate a line on a test failure that includes the relative path, line, and column, and have this open in an existing (or new, if need be) buffer in the pane running #neovim. This is one thing I miss from #vscode.

My Terminals:
#alacritty -> #kitty -> #foot -> #wezTerm

Alacritty: Fast and Safe (Written in rust)

Kitty: Highly configurable in 'python' and has image rendering with icat.

Foot: Lightweight and has sixel support ( I got some crashes due to segfault when trying to launch non existent programs using '-e' flag and using the server, meaning that all my client windows crashed at once. )

Wezterm is like Kitty but has the best parts of Alacritty and Foot.
Wezterm = rust + lua + sixel + imgcat

New #wezterm release today!

This one tightens up a number of warts and gaps around the multiplexing feature; improved performance, color scheme selection is now owned by the client(!), more and better CLI subcommands, automatically imports your ssh config, ability to prompt for things like renaming or (fuzzy!) selecting from lists, ability to move window management buttons into the tab bar and disable the OS titlebar, and a bunch more!

Enjoy!

Are you a dedicated #WezTerm user?

I was laid off in November. One potential path forward for me is sustainable wezterm sponsorships from people like you.

If you are in a position to provide recurring support, even if it is just $1/month, I'd appreciate it. I'd appreciate more even more 😉

I'm set up on the following platforms:

I have been enjoying learning more of the features of #WezTerm and slowly doing more work in #Helix editor and they feel very nice together.

@catherinedevlin @craigmaloney You might be able to do this in #WezTerm. I know you can style the tabs and their colors. It might not be a huge stretch to create some kind of consistent hash for directory paths to get assigned the same color each time. /cc @wez
