#### Alacritty - [github](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty) > [!note] > Has a redraw performance issue on high resolution monitors on [[MacOS]] with visible stutter and repaint on keystrokes if the display windows is too large or full screen. ##### Configuration - [post-install setup](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/INSTALL.md#post-build) - [configuration examples](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/alacritty.yml) ```bash # thin strokes on MacOS defaults write org.alacritty AppleFontSmoothing -int 0 ``` ##### Control Codes Alacritty doesn't support `ctrl-[key]` in many cases. For example, `C-Right` doesn't work out of the box. To fix: 1. run `xxd -psd` 2. type the key sequence you want followed by `Return` (`0a`) and `^C`. ``` # ctrl-Left xxd -psd ^[[1;5D 1b5b313b35440a^C ``` 3. Then create a keybinding in `~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml` ```yaml key_bindings: - { key: Left, mods: Control, chars: "\x1b\x5b\x31\x3b\x35\x44" } ``` #### misc - [How I Migrated from iTerm to Alacritty](x-devonthink-item://6528C558-EEE1-4046-B296-B08B529CA83C) - [Make Alacritty work like iTerm](x-devonthink-item://CA5EA816-FC3B-45BC-A49D-4D57B3EA48B9)
