About

WezTerm is a terminal emulator with support for modern features such as fonts with ligatures, hyperlinks, multiple windows, tabs and split panes.

Configuration is expressed using Lua and many powerful functions are provided to help you customize your terminal to your workflow.

Integrated ssh allows using multiple tabs and panes without requiring tmux to be installed on the remote host, and remote wezterm multiplexer support allows tmux+mosh style workflows without using tmux or mosh, while providing a fully native GUI locally.
