Terminal Emulators

A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust

Features

• Runs on Linux, macOS, Windows 10 and FreeBSD
• Multiplex terminal panes, tabs and windows on local and remote hosts, with native mouse and scrollback
• Ligatures, Color Emoji and font fallback, with true color and dynamic color schemes.
• Hyperlinks
• Searchable Scrollback (use mouse wheel and Shift-PageUp and Shift PageDown to navigate, Ctrl-Shift-F to activate search mode)
• xterm style selection of text with mouse; paste selection via Shift-Insert (bracketed paste is supported!)
• SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux)
• Render underline, double-underline, italic, bold, strikethrough (most other terminal emulators do not support as many render attributes)
• Configuration via a configuration file with hot reloading
• Multiple Windows (Hotkey: Super-N)
• Splits/Panes (Split horizontally/vertically: Ctrl-Shift-Alt-% and Ctrl-Shift-Alt-", move between panes: Ctrl-Shift-ArrowKey)
• Tabs (Hotkey: Super-T, next/prev: Super-Shift-[ and Super-Shift-], go-to: Super-[1-9])
• SSH client with native tabs
• Connect to serial ports for embedded/Arduino work
• Connect to a local multiplexer server over unix domain sockets
• Connect to a remote multiplexer using SSH or TLS over TCP/IP
• iTerm2 compatible image protocol support, and built-in imgcat command
• Kitty graphics support
• Sixel graphics support (experimental: starting in 20200620-160318-e00b076c)

> cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight.

> It uses the QML port of qtermwidget (Konsole): https://github.com/Swordfish90/qmltermwidget.

> This terminal emulator works under Linux and macOS and requires Qt5. It's suggested that you stick to the latest LTS version.

> This post is an introduction to configuring WezTerm based on the setup that I eventually landed on. ... I find most exciting about WezTerm is the flexibility of its Lua config, so we’ll be focusing on that. ... By the end of it all, we’ll have a terminal that looks like this:

> So, Konsole shipped by default with KDE Plasma, my current Desktop Environment. While I don't have a problem with it, I am interested in what other people are using, because there very likely is something better out there. > > Specifically I've seen talk of Kitty and Alacritty, although I've also read that the dev of Kitty is allegedly kind of a jerk, so I am specifically interested in how Konsole matches up to Alacritty in your experience, but other suggestions and general terminal emulator discussion are also welcome!

> > This is cosmic-term, a very WIP project that takes the alacritty_terminal crate providing the majority of terminal code but rewrites the renderer to support additional features such as bidirectional text and ligatures. It will support both software and GPU rendering, and will have additional UI sugar provided by libcosmic as they are implemented. > > cosmic-term

This repo has the information on the color supported by various terminal emulator.

Check the info to see whether your favorite terminal emulator supports truecolor or not.

P.S. My favorite alacritty supports true color
