Alacritty, alternative Linux à Windows Terminal (legacy)

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Alacritty is a good replacement for Windows Terminal (legacy) if you prioritize speed, simplicity, and a clean interface. It handles Unicode, true color, and fast rendering excellently, making it solid for daily shell use. However, it lacks built-in tabs and panes, requiring tmux or similar tools for advanced layouts. Users comfortable with external tools and terminal multiplexers will adapt well. Those expecting native tabs or GUI-based split panes will be disappointed. It works reliably in GNOME, KDE, and other desktop environments.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Terminal (legacy)

Alacritty does not read Windows Terminal (legacy) config files directly. However, both use JSON for configuration, so manual translation is straightforward. You’ll need to map color schemes, font settings, and keybindings manually. There’s no automated import tool, but the structure is simple enough to port with basic editing. Terminal profiles in Windows Terminal must be recreated as separate Alacritty instances or handled via shell or multiplexer scripts.
