  292 22,364 9.9 Python

  Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal

My understanding is that kitty has an automatic (opt-out) update feature [0][1]. I don't really like the idea of a terminal doing that.

However I like the fact that kitty developer(s) actively improved the state of the terminal emulation with their new keyboard and graphic protocols [2].

  Text / code editor typing latency analyzer

here is some latency tests using an external camera, though that's Windows only, there might've been a similar one for Linux, but not sure

The other one where xterm is uber low is https://lwn.net/Articles/751763/ is using this tool with software-based screen capture https://pavelfatin.com/typometer/, not sure how reliable that is as a proxy for end-to-end (at the time of the benchmark Wayland wasn't supported)
