What is the use case ? What are the pros and cons compared to kitty which is already well implemented in the whole project

I can't render wezterm

[rubiin]

The pro being , all the configs being in lua and neovim also uses lua , its easy. While kitty configs are plain configs, wezterm uses lua so you could add runtime conditions . Also its a gpu accelerated terminal faster and has all the fonts, themes baked in

I can't render wezterm

@kRHYME7 yeah, something broke recently and I had to fallback to xwayland for making it work:

if os.getenv("XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP") == "Hyprland" then
    config.enable_wayland = false
else
    config.enable_wayland = true
end

And I also like wezterm more.

This is no longer needed if you use wezterm-git. This was fixed

you can try this as last resort

wezterm-git works as expected. @kRHYME7 for the, the main advantage of using Wezterm instead of Kitty is better support for monospace characters, particularly when italic are enabled.

This is Wezterm

This is Kitty

Additionally, most of the themes that you find for Kitty are available for Wezterm as well.

Here is my config just to show how to separate themes from configuration https://github.com/asilvam133/.wezterm.

[kRHYME7]

so this happened

And ncurses will try to do it on other device

[asilvam133]

Oh that happened to me as well because I had wezterm installed before. What I did was uninstall wezterm, install wezterm-git, then the error shows up, then try install it again, and it worked. I don't remember if I had to delete that folder, but you could give it a try to see if it works.

@kRHYME7 To expand/correct on this, I got an error because I had wezterm installed, but it's the same error that you are getting with ncurses. You probably don't wish to uninstall it, and there's a workaround for this one https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/5464#issuecomment-2131354269
