> What's your reason to migrate from kitty to wezterm?

My reason to no longer using kitty is simple: I don't like having to copy kitty's terminfo data to every single system I connect to in order to have my terminal work.

It's fine for those few systems I very often connect to, of course.

But I also connect to ephemeral systems, sometimes for a short session, and the toil and friction inherent in having to do that just isn't worth it.

Sure, "kitty +kitten ssh ..." can work in most people's scenarios. Didn't quite work in mine, due to various intricacies about my ssh setup - multiple ssh keys, handled mostly by ssh-ident.

wezterm Just Worked for me. As I got "back" to also using other systems like Windows and MacOS, it Just Worked there, too. No fiddling with terminfo, no fiddling with $TERM, either.

Happy days.

You can put LocalCommand directive in your ~/.ssh/config to scp something to the remote machine. I use it to have my .vimrc synced on all my systems.

Your reasoning resonates with mine very much. I'll look at wezterm soon and hope it will works for me too.
