Alacritty Windows Input Fix

In Windows, I use wsl (windows subsystem for linux) inside alacritty. I set space key as leader key in some programs (ex. neovim, tmux). but for some reasons alacritty didn't sending space key as input when using as a leader key (ex. space + ps, space + ff). Here a fix i find for windows. put this code into your config file.

[keyboard]
bindings = [{ key = "Space", mods = "Control", chars = "\u0000"}]

Rest of the config file:

Alacritty doesn't create the config file for you, but it looks for one in the following locations:

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty/alacritty.toml
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.toml
• $HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml
• $HOME/.alacritty.toml

On Windows, the config file will be looked for in:

• %APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.toml

[shell]
program = "wsl"

[window]
dimensions = { columns = 120, lines = 30 }
decorations = "None"
padding = { x = 5, y = 5 }
position = { x = 50, y = 5 }

[font]

normal = { family = "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono", style = "Regular" }
bold = { family = "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono", style = "Bold"}
italic = { family = "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono", style = "Italic"}
bold_italic = { family = "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono", style = "Bold Italic"}

[cursor]
style = { shape = "Block", blinking = "Never" }
