Why Kitty

  • Kitty supports everything Alacritty does
  • Adds better font rendering (especially for lower resolution displays)
  • Supports images (useful for tools like yazi and fastfetch)
  • Provides smooth cursor animations
  • Alacritty remains a fantastic, fast, and simple default terminal

Appreciate the effort, but I don't want to take on the maintenance of keeping themes for multiple terminals in sync. But could make for a nice add-on project for those who want that!

I've changed my mind. I do think there's value in letting people pick their favorite terminal. Just like there is in picking their favorite editor. And now we've done the work to make switching easy for Ghostty, we might as well extend it to kitty too.
