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.
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.
why's that name familiar? calibre?
indeed.
precisely
I tried micro editor recently and it's pretty nice
I wish 'em well, but I have spent too many hours relearning keybindings and am firmly in the grasp of the sunk-cost fallacy.
Also Neovim's LSP support genuinely seems to be pioneering a sustainable way to get multi-language code completion/code actions outside of a clunky corporate IDE. So I guess I'll check that out.
At that point I'm pull out full blown vscodium but to each their own, i didn't learn keybinds so terminal mouse support was cool enough for me.
