alacritty: long loading times for fish shell

Open pluggero opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

My current setup is a fish shell in Alacritty. I also use the base-16-schemes to take a theme of my choice. When the scheme was activated, I noticed long loading times when I opened a new terminal. It takes almost 5 seconds for the fish shell to open (an empty alacritty terminal opens instantly).

By activating the individual modules manually, I realized that the long loading times are due to the simultaneous activation of the Alacritty and Fish modules. After I deactivated the Fish module, everything works quickly again as planned. Presumably the themes are loaded several times in this setup.

Does this also happen with other terminals, or is it specific to Alacritty?

Happens in all terminals I tested in (xterm, console, alacritty). But disabling the fish module resolves the issues like he mentions

Slightly unrelated, but the general fish startup time could be improved with: https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/4427.
