ALACRITTY

NAME

Alacritty - A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator

SYNOPSIS

alacritty [SUBCOMMANDS] [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but allows for extensive configuration. By integrating with other applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it manages to provide a flexible set of features with high performance.

FLAGS

-h, --help

Prints help information

--hold

Remain open after child process exits

--print-events

Print all events to stdout

-q

Reduces the level of verbosity (the min level is -qq)

--ref-test

Generates ref test

-v

-V, --version

OPTIONS

--class <general> | <general>,<instance>

Defines the window class hint on Linux [default: Alacritty,Alacritty]

When only the general class is passed, instance will be set to the same value.

On Wayland the general class sets the ’app_id’, while the instance class is ignored.

Alacritty looks for the configuration file at the following paths:

2. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.yml
3. $HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
4. $HOME/.alacritty.yml

On Windows, the configuration file is located at %APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.yml.

-o, --option <option>...
