Front-end developer and graphic designer. I love reading about newer trends, improvements to my workflow, front-end architecture and currently all things JS. I have a long way to go :)
A question - is there any good support to make tabs? I want to see more than one thing at the same window, but the only solution I found was to open a new instance (window) and alt-tab between them..
Alacritty doesn't support tabs, you would need to use a tool like Tmux, then open up multiple windows (tabs), with some customization you can display the windows in the status bar and then use keyboard shortcuts to easily switch between them. This is because Alacritty is designed to be more bare bones in that it's just about being a really good terminal emulator and nothing else, if you want more you need to use a tool for it, want tabs? Use a terminal multiplexer (like Tmux). You could however use a window manager but I can't really comment on that as I've never used them.

Got it, then, in this case, it's not what I was looking for it seems. Mainly I liked it indeed for the speed and settings (visuals), but maybe there are tools better suited for my workflow... In any case, thanks for the feedback! What you just posted was not all collected in one place where I was googling :D 🙌

You might want to try Kitty, it's like alacritty in that it's GPU accelerated but has stuff like tabs build in.
