Whats not to like of wezterm??

My favorite and often overlooked feature is that wezterm is fully cross os, so if you work like me in Linux, macOS and Windows, then you can just learn wezterm and be done. I even share large parts of my terminal config across os:es.

The one thing I don't like about WezTerm, at least the reason why I stopped using it, is related to how it handles copying wrapped lines into the clipboard. It might just be me, and how I use tmux, but I found that when copying a line that gets wrapped, it includes a newline in the copied text. Very annoying, and I think it has to do with the interaction between WezTerm and tmux.

I don't have enough evidence to create a good bug report, and I WezTerm has its own terminal multiplexing server ("ssh domains"), so it's probably not important enough to fix anyway. I don't want to install the WezTerm multiplexing server everywhere, and tmux is pretty much on all of the places that I ssh into already.

Other than that, WezTerm is great!

It's not tmux specific, i have had the same issue and for me, it was a showstopper.

I’ve yet to try WezTerm myself, but this single issue would make me switch back to Alacritty.

I did some searching and it looks like the issue might be fixed in latest nightly. See https://github.com/wez/wezterm/pull/5396
