WezTerm is just so much faster than iTerm2, wish I had switched sooner!

Is it better in typing latency though?

No, and unlike the siblings I can actually feel it.

That being said, wezterm is about the only terminal I can use now (besides putty). I'm on a cursed setup, Windows with a Linux VM and whatever terminal I use it has to be able to directly ssh into the VM (NOT via ssh.exe), otherwise there's much worse latency/quirks due to stupid Windows conpty issues.

Currently it does not annoy me too much, but when I finally have time I think I'd try to fix it.
