A friend recommended trying WezTerm, despite my decade-long loyalty to iTerm 2. I initially found it lacking but gave it another chance a few months later. The powerful Lua config and API caught my interest, leading to a prettier, more functional terminal with customizable keybindings. The flexibility of Lua config allows for appearance, keybindings, multiplexing, workspace navigation, status bar setup, and dynamic theming. The tight feedback loop and dynamic config in WezTerm make experimenting easy. Configuring appearance with over 1,000 color schemes, automatic theme changes based on system appearance, font customization, window styling, and creating a status bar are some standout features. Additionally, deep key handling capabilities and key assignments can be customized to enhance the user experience, making WezTerm an exciting terminal choice worth exploring.
