WezTerm is a GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written in Rust. ## Features - **Cross-platform** - Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows - **GPU-accelerated** - Smooth rendering using OpenGL - **Lua configuration** - Powerful scripting with Lua - **Built-in multiplexer** - Tabs and panes without external tools - **SSH client** - Native SSH support with terminal features ## Setup Install via package manager: ```bash # Ubuntu/Debian # Download .deb from GitHub releases # Arch Linux sudo pacman -S wezterm # macOS brew install --cask wezterm # Windows # Download from GitHub releases or use winget winget install wez.wezterm ``` ## Configuration Config file: `~/.config/wezterm/wezterm.lua` Example configuration: ```lua local wezterm = require 'wezterm' return { font = wezterm.font 'JetBrains Mono', font_size = 12.0, color_scheme = 'Dracula', window_background_opacity = 0.95, enable_tab_bar = true, hide_tab_bar_if_only_one_tab = true, } ``` ## Key Bindings | Key | Action | |-----|--------| | `Ctrl+Shift+T` | New tab | | `Ctrl+Shift+W` | Close tab | | `Ctrl+Shift+Tab` | Next tab | | `Ctrl+Shift+Enter` | Split pane vertically | | `Ctrl+Shift+%` | Split pane horizontally | | `Ctrl+Shift+Arrow` | Move between panes | | `Ctrl+Shift+Space` | Quick select mode | | `Ctrl+Shift+F` | Search scrollback | ## Multiplexer Features WezTerm includes a built-in multiplexer that can replace tmux: ```lua -- Enable multiplexing config.leader = { key = 'a', mods = 'CTRL' } config.keys = { { key = '|', mods = 'LEADER|SHIFT', action = wezterm.action.SplitHorizontal { domain = 'CurrentPaneDomain' } }, { key = '-', mods = 'LEADER', action = wezterm.action.SplitVertical { domain = 'CurrentPaneDomain' } }, } ``` ## See Also
