kitty is a terminal emulator/ssh client for Mac and Linux written in C and Python that is designed for speed and economy of input. By offloading rendering to the GPU using OpenGL responsiveness is maximized and the featureset is completely accessible by keyboard shortcuts with most also available via mouse click.

Pros
Pro Scrollback buffer viewer
Allows for viewing the scrollback buffer in an external pager of your choice ('less' by default, with support for 'more' and 'most'), a huge benefit for turning actions taken in a live terminal session into a script for efficiency or dissemination or collaborating on workflows.

This thing is FAST, man. I've never had a terminal feel so responsive. Not only that, this thing is loaded with customization options and plugins (adorably called "kittens"). I highly recommend this to anybody looking for a solid, performant, state-of-the-art terminal emulator.

It seemed very promising until I discovered it does not obey terminal standards for the coloring of bold text.
