New Window shortcut for Alacritty on macOS

alacritty.yml

- { key: N, mods: Command, command: { program: "open", args: ["-nb", "io.alacritty"] } }

Here is more direct way now, from the Alacritty skeleton config:

key_bindings:
  - { key: N, mods: Command, action: SpawnNewInstance }

What about cmd+n? is the default on Alacritty in macOS

@ignacio-dl It wasn't when this was created.

A new multi-window feature was added in alacritty/alacritty@1df7dc5, so if you use a release that includes that (not out as of writing), or compile yourself, then you can use the action CreateNewWindow to create a new alacritty window in the same process. This lets you cmd+tilde to switch windows within Alacritty as expected.

eg keybinding:

key_bindings:
  - { key: N, mods: Command, action: CreateNewWindow }
