If it is 90% close, then using the alias makes sense. But if it has enough unique features, then using an alias will rob users of those features for no good reason. > > Do you know where I can find the terminfo database for Alacritty? > > I've attached an archive of the 3 alacritty files in my > /usr/share/terminfo/a/ directory if that's what you were looking for. Thanks, but these files are not recognized by 'infocmp', which I tried to use to decompile them (assuming they were terminfo files compiled by 'tic'). Maybe someone else will be able to tell the differences between alacritty and xterm256color.
