About

Alacritty is a modern, cross-platform terminal emulator powered by OpenGL that delivers GPU-accelerated performance with sensible defaults and extensive configuration. Rather than reimplementing functionality, it integrates seamlessly with other applications to provide a flexible feature set without sacrificing speed. Supported on BSD, Linux, macOS, and Windows, Alacritty is considered beta and still under active development, yet it already serves many users as their daily driver terminal. Key features include Vi Mode for moving around and creating selections using vi bindings; a Search function for querying text within the scrollback buffer; Regex Hints that mark patterns for mouse or keyboard interaction; and Multi-Window support to improve resource usage by running on a single process.

About

xterm is a terminal emulator for the X Window System, first released to emulate DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 hardware and provide a windowed interface for applications that cannot access X directly. Each xterm window runs as a separate process, locally or remotely, while sharing keyboard and mouse input with only the focused window receiving events. It implements ANSI/ISO color support via the “new” color model for background erase and recognizes most VT220 control sequences, along with select features from VT320, VT420, and VT520 devices. Over its history, xterm’s terminal description evolved from VT102 (pre-1996) to VT220 (1996–2012) and, since 2012, to VT420, ensuring compatibility with modern applications. Xterm remains actively maintained and extensible through companion tools like luit for encoding support and the X Toolkit for resource configuration, making it a complete, standards-compliant emulator for Unix-based environments.
