Termite is obsoleted by Alacritty. Termite was a keyboard-centric VTE-based terminal, aimed at use within a window manager with tiling and/or tabbing support.
Hi, I see that the default terminfo from x includes termite, but xterm-termite was set automatically by termite (which also needs to be added through pacman). I'm wondering what's the differences between them.
I'm using conda to manage my Python environments, and due to cross-platform concerns, conda ships their own terminfos, so pacman won't save me here. I'd have to soft link the xterm-termite terminfo to every single environment I create, which is too much of a hassle.
My current hack is to set my zshrc to recognize xterm-termite and switch it to termite, which seems to work fairly well for the termite functionalities I use. However, there must be a reason why you guys use xterm-termite, so I'm curous what's different between the two. Is it possible to use an option in the config file to allow the use of other terminfo to ensure compatibility with some compromises on functionality?
Also, Arch wiki suggested to use xterm-color to deal with ssh issues, and how is that different from xterm-termite and termite?
