An ALT+key centric wezterm config

Wezterm gives you a cross-platform terminal and multiplexer with tmux like capabilities that works on linux, mac and windows.

This wezterm config is organized around the ALT+key where key is one of the following:

General actions:

• wezterm action (command palette)
• show debug layer
• insert unicode character (e.g. insert an emoji)

Managing panes:

• vertical split or alternavtively -
• horizontal split or \
• h j k l for moving between splits (add SHIFT for resizing instead)
• x closes current pane, use quit to close without asking
• next and previous pane
• swap pane
• rotate panes clockwise (add CTRL for counter clockwise)
• zoom in/out pane

Inside a pane:

• find text
• copy mode

Quickly open commonly used programs in split pane with ALT+key or CTRL+ALT+key for a vertical split pane:

• open nvim and edit visible area and entire scrollback of the active pane
• open lazygit in split pane
• open broot in split pane
• open todos in split pane
• open monitoring (bottom) in split pane

Workspaces

Workspace related bindings are under ALT+SHIFT+key:

• Add a new workspace,
• go to Default workspace,
• go to open Workspace
• new Session: creates a workspace from existing project under ~/src
• Next and Previous workspace

Window

Window related bindings are under ALT+SHIFT+key:

• Always on Top
• Always on Bottom

There is more than just this, but the above is what you might need most of the time.
