Timeline (last 90 days)
iTerm2, Windows Terminal, Kitty, and Alacritty are all terminal emulators
Terminals that support the Kitty keyboard protocol (such as foot, Alacritty 0.16+, and WezTerm) can now use Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Shift shortcuts normally in Claude Code.
Popular terminal tools including Alacritty, starship, bat, and exa/eza are all developed in Rust.
Alacritty and Kitty are GPU-accelerated modern terminals capable of high-frame-rate character animation
