hyperlinks-- programs can emit an escape code that would be interpreted as hyperlink. so you can do `ls --hyperlink=auto` (yes, it's so useful that a coreutils util has included it) and click on the hyperlink to open the file using xdg-open.

Also, vim: `help modifyOtherKeys`.

Lots of things alacritty cannot do-

1) If you scale certain fonts using fontconfig, alacritty would ignore that.

2) No emoji colors, no ligatures (and thus no flags), also emoji size has problems

... and not to mention it's one of the slowest (yes! contrary to what they blowhard they response time to keys is very large) terminals out there.

List is endless, termite had its place, but there is no doubt that there is so much ego in OSS that one solution canot fit all

Personally I'm keeping an eye out for wezterm, it seems all the good things of alacritty without the self-congratulation part
