SYNOPSIS

9       alacritty [SUBCOMMANDS] [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

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.

39              Alacritty,Alacritty]
40
41              When  only  the general class is passed, instance will be set to
42              the same value.
43
44              On Wayland the general class sets the `app_id`,  while  the  in‐
45              stance class is ignored.

51              Specify alternative configuration file
52
53              Alacritty  looks  for  the  configuration  file at the following
54              paths:
55                  1. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty/alacritty.yml
56                  2. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.yml
57                  3. $HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
58                  4. $HOME/.alacritty.yml
59
60              On  Windows,  the  configuration  file  is  located   at   %APP‐
61              DATA%\alacritty\alacritty.yml.
