Alacritty - GPU-beschleunigtes Terminal¶
**Individuelle Referenz für Leistung, Konfiguration und Produktivität des Vi-Modus* *
Alacritty ist ein blitzschneller, GPU-beschleunigter Terminal-Emulator geschrieben in Rust. Alacritty, entworfen mit Leistung und Einfachheit im Denken, konzentriert sich auf eine Sache außergewöhnlich gut zu tun: die Bereitstellung der schnellsten möglichen Terminal-Erfahrung. Im Gegensatz zu Feature-heavy Terminals delegiert Alacritty Fensterverwaltung, Tabs und Multiplexing auf externe Tools, so dass es unvergleichliche Geschwindigkeit und Effizienz zu erreichen. Dieses umfassende Betrügereiblatt umfasst wesentliche Verknüpfungen, Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten und Vi-Modus-Funktionen, um Ihre Produktivität mit Alacritty zu maximieren.

[font] size = 12.0 # Smaller fonts are faster
[window] dynamic_padding = false # Disable for performance ```_
Integration von Workflow¶
```bash
Use with terminal multiplexers¶
Tmux for session management¶
Screen for simple multiplexing¶
Combine with window managers¶
i3, sway, or dwm for tiling¶
Use Alacritty as default terminal¶

Optimize shell startup time¶
Use fast prompts (starship, pure)¶
```_
Anpassung Tipps¶
```bash
Theme switching script¶
!/bin/bash¶
THEME_DIR="~/.config/alacritty/themes" CURRENT_THEME=$(readlink ~/.config/alacritty/current-theme.toml)
case "\(1" in "dark") ln -sf "\)THEME_DIR/dark.toml" ~/.config/alacritty/current-theme.toml ;; "light") ln -sf "$THEME_DIR/light.toml" ~/.config/alacritty/current-theme.toml ;; esac
