Alacritty

Alacritty is the terminal emulator — GPU-accelerated and minimal, configured in TOML (alacritty.toml). Tabs and splits are left to tmux; the terminal stays a thin, fast layer.

Does

• GPU-accelerated rendering with low input latency
• Minimal chrome (no window decorations, slight transparency)
• Vi mode for scrollback navigation and buffer search

Keybinds

• Ctrl+Alt+/ - search forward, Ctrl+Alt+? - search backward (only outside Vi mode)
• Ctrl+Shift+Space - toggle Vi mode; inside it use / ? n N natively
• Super+Alt+T/Q/J/K - create/close/switch tmux windows
• Super+Alt+S/N/R/X - choose/create/rename/close tmux sessions
• Super+Alt+Shift+H/J/K/L - resize tmux panes

Workflow

Run tmux inside Alacritty for sessions, tabs, and splits. Alacritty forwards the Super+Alt combinations as terminal sequences understood by the tmux config. Use Vi mode to navigate scrollback without reaching for the mouse.
