最近、ターミナルでvimやtmuxの操作をしていると、「h,j,k,l」のキー入力での反応が遅くストレスを感じるので、よく話題に上がっているAlacrittyをインストールし、設定の仕方などを調べてみましたので、まとめておこうと思います。
目次
Alacrittyとは
Rust製のターミナルで、OpenGLを利用したGPUレンダリングを用いた描画を行うため、とても高速なターミナルです。Alacitty自体もパフォーマンスに意識して開発を行っているそうです。また、Rustで開発されていることもあり、クロスプラットフォームで利用可能です。
インストール方法
今回は、macOSを想定した手順を記載します。他のOSに関してのインストールは、GitHubのREADMEを参照するか、リリース物からバイナリを取得すればよいです。
brew cask install alacritty
これでインストール完了です。
ApplicationフォルダにAlacrittyがインストールされているのでそちらをクリックするか、ターミナルで下記のコマンドを実行して起動します。
open /Applications/Alacritty.app
設定について
設定に関しては、とくに画面で編集する形ではyaml形式の設定ファイルを利用します。
いわゆるXDG仕様とよばれるXDG Base Directory Specificationとよばれる仕様に基づいて、各ユーザのホームフォルダ直下におくのではなく、$XDG_CONFIG_HOMEの配管におく形となっています。読み込み順序は、下記のようになっています。
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty/alacritty.yml
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.yml
$HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
$HOME/.alacritty.yml
設定ファイルの雛形は、リリース物の中にあります。以下にr0.5.0の内容を記載します。
# Configuration for Alacritty, the GPU enhanced terminal emulator.
# Any items in the `env` entry below will be added as
# environment variables. Some entries may override variables
# set by alacritty itself.
#env:
# TERM variable
#
# This value is used to set the `$TERM` environment variable for
# each instance of Alacritty. If it is not present, alacritty will

# available, otherwise `xterm-256color` is used.

#working_directory: None
# WinPTY backend (Windows only)
#
# Alacritty defaults to using the newer ConPTY backend if it is available,
# since it resolves a lot of bugs and is quite a bit faster. If it is not
# available, the WinPTY backend will be used instead.
#
# Setting this option to `true` makes Alacritty use the legacy WinPTY backend,
# even if the ConPTY backend is available.
#winpty_backend: false
# Send ESC (\x1b) before characters when alt is pressed.
#alt_send_esc: true
#mouse:
# Click settings

# The `double_click` and `triple_click` settings control the time
# alacritty should wait for accepting multiple clicks as one double
# or triple click.

#triple_click: { threshold: 300 }
# If this is `true`, the cursor is temporarily hidden when typing.
#hide_when_typing: false
#url:
# URL launcher
#
# This program is executed when clicking on a text which is recognized as a URL.
# The URL is always added to the command as the last parameter.
#
# When set to `launcher: None`, URL launching will be disabled completely.
#
# Default:
# - (macOS) open
# - (Linux/BSD) xdg-open
# - (Windows) explorer
#launcher:
# program: xdg-open
# args: []
# URL modifiers
#
# These are the modifiers that need to be held down for opening URLs when clicking
# on them. The available modifiers are documented in the key binding section.
#modifiers: None
# Mouse bindings
#
# Mouse bindings are specified as a list of objects, much like the key
# bindings further below.
#
# To trigger mouse bindings when an application running within Alacritty captures the mouse, the
# `Shift` modifier is automatically added as a requirement.
#
# Each mouse binding will specify a:
#
# - `mouse`:
#
# - Middle
# - Left
# - Right
# - Numeric identifier such as `5`
#
# - `action` (see key bindings)
#
# And optionally:
#
# - `mods` (see key bindings)
#mouse_bindings:
# - { mouse: Middle, action: PasteSelection }
# Key bindings
#
# Key bindings are specified as a list of objects. For example, this is the
# default paste binding:
#
# `- { key: V, mods: Control|Shift, action: Paste }`
#
# Each key binding will specify a:
#
# - `key`: Identifier of the key pressed
#
# - A-Z
# - F1-F24
# - Key0-Key9
#
# A full list with available key codes can be found here:
# https://docs.rs/glutin/*/glutin/event/enum.VirtualKeyCode.html#variants
#
# Instead of using the name of the keys, the `key` field also supports using
# the scancode of the desired key. Scancodes have to be specified as a
# decimal number. This command will allow you to display the hex scancodes
# for certain keys:
#
# `showkey --scancodes`.
#
# Then exactly one of:
#
# - `chars`: Send a byte sequence to the running application
#
# The `chars` field writes the specified string to the terminal. This makes
# it possible to pass escape sequences. To find escape codes for bindings
# like `PageUp` (`"\x1b[5~"`), you can run the command `showkey -a` outside
# of tmux. Note that applications use terminfo to map escape sequences back
# to keys. It is therefore required to update the terminfo when changing an
# escape sequence.
#
# - `action`: Execute a predefined action
#
# - ToggleViMode
# - SearchForward
# - SearchBackward
# - Copy
# - Paste
# - PasteSelection
# - IncreaseFontSize
# - DecreaseFontSize
# - ResetFontSize
# - ScrollPageUp
# - ScrollPageDown
# - ScrollHalfPageUp
# - ScrollHalfPageDown
# - ScrollLineUp
# - ScrollLineDown
# - ScrollToTop
# - ScrollToBottom
# - ClearHistory
# - Hide
# - Minimize
# - Quit
# - ToggleFullscreen
# - SpawnNewInstance
# - ClearLogNotice
# - ClearSelection
# - ReceiveChar
# - None
#
# (`mode: Vi` only):
# - Open
# - Up
# - Down
# - Left
# - Right
# - First
# - Last
# - FirstOccupied
# - High
# - Middle
# - Low
# - SemanticLeft
# - SemanticRight
# - SemanticLeftEnd
# - SemanticRightEnd
# - WordRight
# - WordLeft
# - WordRightEnd
# - WordLeftEnd
# - Bracket
# - ToggleNormalSelection
# - ToggleLineSelection
# - ToggleBlockSelection
# - ToggleSemanticSelection
# - SearchNext
# - SearchPrevious
# - SearchStart
# - SearchEnd
#
# (macOS only):
# - ToggleSimpleFullscreen: Enters fullscreen without occupying another space
#
# (Linux/BSD only):
# - CopySelection: Copies into selection buffer
#
# - `command`: Fork and execute a specified command plus arguments
#
# The `command` field must be a map containing a `program` string and an
# `args` array of command line parameter strings. For example:
# `{ program: "alacritty", args: ["-e", "vttest"] }`
#
# And optionally:
#
# - `mods`: Key modifiers to filter binding actions
#
# - Command
# - Control
# - Option
# - Super
# - Shift
# - Alt
#
# Multiple `mods` can be combined using `|` like this:
# `mods: Control|Shift`.
# Whitespace and capitalization are relevant and must match the example.
#
# - `mode`: Indicate a binding for only specific terminal reported modes
#
# This is mainly used to send applications the correct escape sequences
# when in different modes.
#
# - AppCursor
# - AppKeypad
# - Alt
#
# A `~` operator can be used before a mode to apply the binding whenever
# the mode is *not* active, e.g. `~Alt`.
#
# Bindings are always filled by default, but will be replaced when a new
# binding with the same triggers is defined. To unset a default binding, it can
# be mapped to the `ReceiveChar` action. Alternatively, you can use `None` for
# a no-op if you do not wish to receive input characters for that binding.
#
# If the same trigger is assigned to multiple actions, all of them are executed
# in the order they were defined in.
#key_bindings:
#- { key: Paste, action: Paste }
#- { key: Copy, action: Copy }
#- { key: L, mods: Control, action: ClearLogNotice }

こちらの内容をベースに追記していきます。今回は、フォント、背景の透過だけを設定したファイルを下記のように作りました。
# Font configuration (changes require restart)

# The normal (roman) font face to use.
normal:

# Style can be specified to pick a specific face.
style: Regular
# The bold font face

# Style can be specified to pick a specific face.

この設定ファイルをdotfilesなどの含めておけば、他PC上での開発環境も便利に行うことができると思います。
他のターミナルエミュレータ
GitHubのターミナルエミュレータタグで検索すると2020年7月現在では、158個がヒットします。その中から上位、5件を抜き出すと下記のようになります。
Macを利用されている方だと、iTerm2を利用している方も多いかと思います。
おわり
多くの時間をターミナルエミュレータと過ごすことが多いかと思います。ターミナルエミュレータによっても個性があり、見た目を重視するhyperのようなものや、速度を重視するalacrittyなどがあります。普段多くの時間をすごくターミナルエミュレータだからこそ、ストレスを感じない、自分好みのターミナルエミュレータを選んで見てはいかかでしょうか?
