I’m looking for a new terminal. What’s your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?

    Don’t know why you were downvoted. In any case, all terminals can be configured to start with a specific command and arguments. So, depending on your terminal, you might need to read the documentation, and/or search the web.

    In alacritty config, this is:

    shell:
      program: <CMD>
      args:
        - <ARGS>
    

    Then one of these:

    1. <CMD> is the path to tmux, and you have configured tmux to run the shell of your choice. Search the web for how.
    2. <CMD> is the path to your shell, and it supports launching in tmux. Search the web for how.

    For me, it’s the second one. I use fish, and I launch it with fish --command=tmux. So the above config looks like this:

    shell:
      program: /usr/bin/fish
      args:
        - --command=tmux
