Although it's possible the default configuration would work on your system,
you'll probably end up wanting to customize it anyhow. There is a default
`alacritty.yml` and `alacritty_macos.yml` at the git repository root for
Linux and macOS repsectively.

## FAQ
- _Is it really the fastest terminal emulator?_ In the terminals I've
benchmarked against, alacritty is either faster, WAY faster, or at least
neutral. There are no benchmarks in which I've found Alacritty to be slower.
- _macOS + tmux + vim is slow! I thought this was supposed to be fast!_ This
appears to be an issue outside of terminal emulators; either macOS has an IPC
performance issue, or either tmux or vim (or both) have a bug. This same issue
can be seen in `iTerm2` and `Terminal.app`. I've found that if tmux is running
on another machine which is connected to Alacritty via SSH, this issue

Alacritty.
- _When will Windows support be available?_ When someone has time to work on it.
Contributors would be welcomed :).
- _My arrow keys don't work_. It sounds like you deleted some key bindings from
your config file. Please reference the default config file to restore them.
- _Why doesn't it support scrollback?_ Alacritty's original purpose was to
provide a better experience when using [tmux] which already handled
scrollback. The scope of this project has since expanded, and [scrollback will
eventually be added](https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/124).
