not sure about escape sequences just yet, but Kitty gives you insane control over font rendering https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf/#fonts

might switch from alacritty to kitty almost just for this (although I've been meaning to for a while). the "immediately get scroll back into an nvim buffer to edit as a command" is pretty sweet

another way to start is to only do small configurations at first. as you code maybe you realize you want a tool that shows git diffs, install a plug-in that does that. over time, you gradually build your config. maybe you want to start using leader for custom key maps. a couple days later maybe you think you want a file picker so you add telescope. this 100% will take longer, but you'll intimately understand why every line in your config is there.

neat write up, I've also run into some of the errors that ruff throws (eg don't use f strings in logging) but didn't really know why.

thought it was cool the author said feel free to implement in ruff in the foot notes

neat! I've been using Colima for a while, so it's cool to see they have a comparison in their FAQ .

bit leery of it eventually switching to a paid model tho
