DESCRIPTION

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