Alacritty - A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator

alacritty [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but allows for extensive configuration. By integrating with other applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it manages to provide a flexible set of features with high performance.

Remain open after child process exits

–print-events

Print all events to stdout

Reduces the level of verbosity (the min level is -qq)

On Wayland the instance class sets the `app_id`, while the general class is ignored.

On Windows, the configuration file is located at %APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.yml.
