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
