I have never quite understood what the benefit of using kitty is. My default terminal emulator just isn’t using that many resources and I don’t get why I would even want GPU rendering for text.
What problem does it solve for you?
What problem does it solve for you?
Kitty has a new keyboard handling protocol, and Neovim supports it. So if you use kitty, you can use key mappings in neovim in a more predicatable and flexible way.
Of course your workflow is yours.
That latency interferes just with a plain Esc key press. There's no weird use case in this.
Or does tmux make them work automagically?
Are these like "powerline fonts" or what? Where are these used?
Do you mean such things as wide Unicode glyphs? Because it doesn’t seem to support variable-width fonts.
I would be capable of working entirely in any modern terminal emulator, but Kitty makes it a pleasure.
I use vim as my main editor and while I usually stick with default terminal I have tried others in the past and at least I cant tell a difference in normal usage.
Yeah... Terminal is not the issue, rather why you have 100000 line js file in the first place.
I made a random file with 100 000 lines and using 3 different terminals (Default Terminal, iTerm2, and Kitty) and using two different grep tools (grep and rip-grep) with and without tmux I can not see any meaningful performance difference.
Do I just not understand what terminal emulators do? How does choice of text printing matter when you run a script?
I could see a tiny performance improvement with kitty when I ran just cat on the file in a loop, but the difference was so tiny that if you want to argue that this is the performance benefit worth using kitty for I have bad news for you since the worst case with kitty was then noticeably worse than in competition.
