Yep, I use the beta version of Windows Terminal, which fully supports Kitty protocols, but I'm still envious of people using Kitty directly or even Ghostty.

Windows Terminal is surprisingly outstanding.

I concur. WezTerm is my driver for the past 3-4 years. For anyone wishing to try it, make sure you grab a nightly build.

I wish there were regular official releases that would help it get more traction. Last official release is 2.5 years ago, despite continuing development. This could drive some people away. OTOH, maybe that's the point...

Honestly you don't need ConEmu (the terminal emulator part of cmder) anymore with the new Windows Terminal

I want to use Alacritty on Windows, but it still has a ctrl+alt+key issue due to some upstream winit issue. Other apps seemed to have worked that out in other ways tho. I thought the font rendering in Alacritty on Windows was the best, so I still hope one day its updated with a fix.

Not yet, but there are several projects that exist to build it for Windows: https://wintty.io/ describes itself as "A native Windows terminal built on the Ghostty core" (i.e., wrapping libghostty in a Windows application), and is probably the one I'd start with. There's also https://noctty.com/ which has taken a similar approach.

Both are clearly LLM-assisted projects, but https://noctty.com/ has a very Claude-esque front page whereas https://wintty.io/ doesn't set off my LLM detectors nearly as badly. However, Wintty's download page says "Prebuilt builds are for sponsors. The source is free and always will be, and you can build it yourself" so if you decide you don't like that business model then you may wish to try Noctty, which does have prebuilt binaries.

NOTE: I have not spent any amount of time with either of those, so I can't give personal recommendations either for or against either.
