   I spent a little bit of the evening (and some of the work
   day) getting set up with a new terminal emulator. I've
   switched from GNOME Terminal on Linux and iTerm 2 on OSX to
   using Kitty.

   I initially was drawn to Kitty because it lets you output
   PNGs right to your terminal and view them in the text -- so
   you can do something like `cat foo.png | icat`. I will
   probably never seriously use this feature, or even remember
   it exists when it would be useful.

   But, what is good: it's very fast, it uses OpenGL, and it
   has great (and flexible) font rendering. Also also, it's
   native to Wayland and also to macOS.

   I am hoping that my having a consistent terminal, alongside
   my consistent vim and tmux, that I'll struggle less when
   switching between computers any my muscle memory for things
   (like switching tabs) is wrong.

   I guess we'll see.
