My problem with kitty is, it didn’t work for the languages I use, and when I complained the dev said he doesn’t care about non-European languages. Alacritty works well for Japanese for me, including input methods, but sadly not for Arabic or other bidi.
mmhm, and I understand this is generally a problem with terminal emulators and complex scripts.
again, wezterm’s author is very amenable to improve this.
i don’t know how well does the support look like now, but i remember that wez furlong put quite an amount of work to have the visual representation of indic scripts be less painful, for example.
Kitty? Back when I tried to use it (uim-xim+anthy), no it didn’t, also it broke my xcompose setup. When I asked the devs about it they said they don’t care about non-European languages. I do not want to use software where the devs don’t even bother to performatively pretend that languages outside of Europe matter. What I am missing is being treated like an equal fucking human being.
there’s also wezterm if you want more features.
I like kitty most
kitty has two problems, one is called kovid goyal, and the other, kovid goyal having been one-shotted by the autoconfabulators.

It works for japanese with an IME. What specifically are you missing?
