About:
WezTerm is a high-performance terminal emulator built on GPU-accelerated rendering for smooth scrolling and fast responsiveness. It functions as a terminal multiplexer, similar to tmux, allowing you to manage multiple sessions, windows, and panes. Its configuration is written in Lua, offering deep customization for key bindings, appearance, and behavior.

Key Features:

GPU-accelerated rendering for high performance
Built-in multiplexer for session management
Lua-based configuration for extreme customization
Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Use Cases:

Power users needing a highly customizable and performant terminal
Developers who want integrated multiplexing without relying on tmux

Alternatives:

iTerm2 – macOS native, feature-rich, but lacks built-in multiplexing and Lua config
Alacritty – Similar GPU-acceleration focus, but simpler configuration and no built-in multiplexer
