# Alacritty process.

# This is useful in environment like i3 where terminals are opened using a
# key-combination while another terminal is already focused.
#
# If the script is run with a non-Alacritty window in focus or a non-compliant
# version of Alacritty, the script will exit with code 1. This makes it possible
# to use the script like
#
# spawn-alacritty-cwd || alacritty
