Terminal Stack

This project uses a unified configuration strategy for multiple terminal emulators to ensure a consistent experience regardless of the environment.

Supported Terminals

• Alacritty: High-performance, cross-platform.
• Ghostty: Modern, feature-rich terminal.
• WezTerm: Highly configurable, GPU-accelerated.

Unified Configuration Philosophy

All terminals are configured with shared parameters:

• Font: IosevkaTerm Nerd Font (Primary), size 13.0.
• Opacity: 0.95 with background blur enabled.
• Padding: 5px on all sides.
• Shell: nu --login --interactive (Nushell).

Unified Hotkeys

The following shortcuts are consistent across Alacritty, Ghostty, and WezTerm. We prioritize Ctrl + Shift for terminal actions to avoid conflicts with shell and TUI tools.

Category	Action	Shortcut
Windows	New window	Ctrl + Shift + N
Windows	Close window	Ctrl + Shift + Q
Tabs	New tab	Ctrl + Shift + T
Tabs	Close tab	Ctrl + Shift + W
View	Toggle fullscreen	F11 or Ctrl + Enter
Clipboard	Copy	Ctrl + Shift + C
Clipboard	Paste	Ctrl + Shift + V
Zoom	Increase font size	Ctrl + Shift + +
Zoom	Decrease font size	Ctrl + Shift + -
Zoom	Reset font size	Ctrl + Shift + 0

Note: Terminal shortcuts sit at the top of the input stack. If a shortcut is also bound in your multiplexer or editor, the terminal usually intercepts it first. See the Hotkey Conflict Map for a full breakdown.
