About:
WezTerm is a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator and multiplexer written in Rust. It provides high-performance rendering using modern graphics APIs while offering advanced features like tabs, panes, and SSH multiplexing. The tool focuses on speed, configurability, and native performance across platforms.
Key Features:
  • GPU-accelerated rendering with OpenGL, Vulkan, and Metal
  • Built-in multiplexer with tabs, panes, and window management
  • SSH client with connection multiplexing and automatic reconnection
  • Highly configurable via Lua scripting
  • Ligature and font shaping support
Use Cases:
  • Daily driver terminal for software development
  • Remote development with persistent sessions
  • High-performance terminal work with large scrollback buffers
Alternatives:
  • Alacritty – Alacritty is also GPU-accelerated but lacks built-in multiplexing and SSH features
  • tmux – tmux provides multiplexing but requires a separate terminal emulator and lacks GPU acceleration
  • Kitty – Kitty is GPU-accelerated with similar features but uses Python for configuration
