My favorite aspect of kitty is the infinite scrollback. My scrollback is 10000 lines long and scrollback buffer itself can store 1 GB worth of history.[0] When you hit a certain shortcut, you can use any pager to search through the scrollback. It's all very fast.

Don’t most terminals offer this?

It's pretty common. GNOME's terminal does, as does Kconsole for KDE, and so on. I've got Gnome terminal bumped up to 100,000 lines.

There are definitely some that don't, or don't make it configurable, which for me just gives me pretty strong incentive not to use them.

Yeah, I thought this was a feature of the shell, not of the terminal
