Why I Switched to WezTerm: Matching My Kitty Setup Perfectly

[@DanteMishima]

Zooming in on your terminal would greatly help people watching on mobile

[@nikolovlazar]

I know… I was thinking about zooming in later after I change the font size and show it changing, but I completely forgot to zoom in. Thanks for the feedback!

[@sajanghuman]

Just tried out Wezterm after switching from kitty and loved it, your timing was perfect. Thanks!!😁

[@nikolovlazar]

WezTerm actually rules. I really like that I can configure it with Lua, as opposed to a key=value syntax. It allows me to do more.

I'm confused, if Dank Mono is a monospaced font, why is it not fixed width? I thought that was the definition of monospace.

[@nikolovlazar]

I’m not sure as well. Someone said some of its ligatures aren’t. If you open the Font Book app on MacOS and click on the “Fixed-width” collection you won’t see Dank Mono there.

I'm so impressed by the results in the video. So proud of you, baby. You are so talented! 💖

Loving the new style, beard & hair looks great!

Hey really nice config, I was looking for something like this, but I don't know if I configure my WezTerm now or if I wait for Ghostty

[@nikolovlazar]

I had the same dilemma, but after seeing a few videos about Ghostty it didn’t convince me to wait. But I’d gladly move over to Ghostty if it’s worth it 😁

[@xalium]

Can you share what mounts you are using for the Voyager?

[@nikolovlazar]

I got the UGREEN magnetic phone stands from Amazon. They were around $30 CAD each.

[@xalium]

@ thanks! Will buy if they go on sale for Boxing Day. Any cons with the setup?

[@Swifter101]

cool video like learning stuff like this a

[@nathanlentz]

Ghostty launches in like 2 days, you’re gonna have to redo it all again!

[@nikolovlazar]

I’ll give it a spin, but idk… I saw some of the videos about Ghostty and I wasn’t convinced that it’s “superior”. I’m open to be positively surprised by it though 😁

[@Thaufiq-tech]

fr 2 days?

[@nikolovlazar]

yeah they said 26-31st December in their Discord server

[@naplesnola]

uhh I've been loving to use Rio

[@nikolovlazar]

Rio?

[@mageshyt2550]

tomorrow ghostty is going to release

[@nikolovlazar]

Do you think it’s going to be better than WezTerm?

[@mageshyt2550]

@@nikolovlazar i am not sure but i love WezTerm , i am using it for last 3mon

[@DanteMishima]

Lesson Learnt: Updates are bad

[@ypathan420]

bruh the beard, i thought i clicked on someone else's video

[@nikolovlazar]

Yeah I cut it a few weeks ago 😅 I thought after 10 years or so it's time to cut it to an "easier-to-maintain" length.

[@micaelviana]

Wezterm is so nice so you can toggle transparency with a shortcut. config.keys = { { key = "o", mods = "CTRL|SHIFT", -- toggling opacity action = wezterm.action_callback(function(window, _) local overrides = window:get_config_overrides() or {} if overrides.window_background_opacity == 1.0 then overrides.window_background_opacity = 0.7 else overrides.window_background_opacity = 1.0 end window:set_config_overrides(overrides) end), }, }

[@nikolovlazar]

Yeah that’s what I’m doing as well. Nifty!
