Added Alacritty config and TERMINAL variable.

Now I know Thomas is gonna get really pissy that I'm not using st, but
frankly I don't give a shit what he thinks. What Thomas doesn't realise
is that his way is not the best way. There are no best ways, just better
ways.

        Sure, st is a good terminal, but I'm literally using Alacritty to
type this message, and I like it. It is easy to configure and has GPU
acceleration which makes it fast enough to literally watch a 360p video in
text mode (possibly more, didn't test much since it already wiped st off
the face of the planet). "aLAcRitTY is bLOaT" shut. the. fuck. up. If
you cared about bloat that much you'd be using Artix, or better yet,
NixOS. Instead, you're using a distro that literally stores 2 copies of
every package you download and the 20 billion dependencies that come
with it. You regularly bitch about how many dependencies KDE has but you
haven't stopped to look at your own dependency clusterfuck.

        KDE is a perfectly fine desktop with plenty of features built in
fully configured for your enjoyment (if you couldn't tell from my
dotfiles its not my favorite, but I'll definitely admit to using KDE
when I'm feeling lazy on a new install). You're probably going to say that
its bloat because of that, but you clearly don't give a shit because
you're still on vanilla Arch.

        Part of the Linux experience is being able to pick and choose
your own experience. Maybe some don't want to use a tiling window
manager. Sure, its more efficient once you get to know it, but not
everyone is capable of learning the drastically different workflow that
comes with TWMs/DWMs. Maybe they don't have the days, possibly weeks to
setup everything to a usable state. Maybe they just want a computer that
works.

        Now, I do get pretty pissed if you complain about problems that
come with your choice of Linux lifestyle and A. Don't do anything to
address them or B. Blame something else. Ex. Clay regularly complains
about "Wine crashes all the time and has poor compatability". This was
probably true back in Wine 2.0 when Clay was probably not even alive,
but times have changed. Furthermore, I come to find out that the
problems he is having either exist on Windows (ex. Into the Breach
maximize button being useless) or are because of his WM
(he uses Linux Mint Cinnamon btw).

        What I'm trying to say is, Thomas, be more open. Just because
someone uses KDE doesn't mean that they're not good enough to setup i3.
And to anyone else reading this, find what works best for you. I'm not
saying to completely ignore what other people prefer, but don't just do
something because someone on the internet told you to. Experiment with
new things and refine what already works for you.

        Sorry about the rant. But hey, now that you're at the bottom,
how about giving alacritty a try? If you're on Arch just go over to your
local neighborhood terminal and smack your keyboard in a fashion that
inputs `sudo pacman -S alacritty` into it (or use
whatever pacman wrapper you want, I don't care). Feel free to steal my
alacritty dotfiles too (although they're kinda basic) (if you are Thomas
though you won't like the fonts since you care too much about what fonts
people use). More information can be found on their Github page

# Live config reload (changes require restart)

# Shell
#
# You can set `shell.program` to the path of your favorite shell, e.g. `/bin/fish`.
# Entries in `shell.args` are passed unmodified as arguments to the shell.
#
# Default:
# - (macOS) /bin/bash --login

# WinPTY backend (Windows only)
#
# Alacritty defaults to using the newer ConPTY backend if it is available,
# since it resolves a lot of bugs and is quite a bit faster. If it is not
# available, the the WinPTY backend will be used instead.
#
# Setting this option to `true` makes Alacritty use the legacy WinPTY backend,
# even if the ConPTY backend is available.

# Click settings

# alacritty should wait for accepting multiple clicks as one double
# or triple click.

#triple_click: { threshold: 300 }
# If this is `true`, the cursor is temporarily hidden when typing.
#hide_when_typing: false
#url:
# URL launcher
#
# This program is executed when clicking on a text which is recognized as a URL.
# The URL is always added to the command as the last parameter.
#
# When set to `None`, URL launching will be disabled completely.
#
# Default:
# - (macOS) open
# - (Linux/BSD) xdg-open
# - (Windows) explorer
#launcher:
# program: xdg-open
# args: []
# URL modifiers
#
# These are the modifiers that need to be held down for opening URLs when clicking
# on them. The available modifiers are documented in the key binding section.
#modifiers: None
# Mouse bindings
#
# Mouse bindings are specified as a list of objects, much like the key
# bindings further below.
#
# To trigger mouse bindings when an application running within Alacritty captures the mouse, the
# `Shift` modifier is automatically added as a requirement.
#
# Each mouse binding will specify a:
#
# - `mouse`:
#
# - Middle
# - Left
# - Right
# - Numeric identifier such as `5`
#
# - `action` (see key bindings)
#
# And optionally:
#
# - `mods` (see key bindings)
#mouse_bindings:
# - { mouse: Middle, action: PasteSelection }
# Key bindings
#
# Key bindings are specified as a list of objects. For example, this is the
# default paste binding:
#
# `- { key: V, mods: Control|Shift, action: Paste }`
#
# Each key binding will specify a:
#
# - `key`: Identifier of the key pressed
#
# - A-Z
# - F1-F24
# - Key0-Key9
#
# A full list with available key codes can be found here:
# https://docs.rs/glutin/*/glutin/event/enum.VirtualKeyCode.html#variants
#
# Instead of using the name of the keys, the `key` field also supports using
# the scancode of the desired key. Scancodes have to be specified as a
# decimal number. This command will allow you to display the hex scancodes
# for certain keys:
#
# `showkey --scancodes`.
#
# Then exactly one of:
#
# - `chars`: Send a byte sequence to the running application
#
# The `chars` field writes the specified string to the terminal. This makes
# it possible to pass escape sequences. To find escape codes for bindings
# like `PageUp` (`"\x1b[5~"`), you can run the command `showkey -a` outside
# of tmux. Note that applications use terminfo to map escape sequences back
# to keys. It is therefore required to update the terminfo when changing an
# escape sequence.
#
# - `action`: Execute a predefined action
#
# - Copy
# - Paste
# - PasteSelection
# - IncreaseFontSize
# - DecreaseFontSize
# - ResetFontSize
# - ScrollPageUp
# - ScrollPageDown
# - ScrollLineUp
# - ScrollLineDown
# - ScrollToTop
# - ScrollToBottom
# - ClearHistory
# - Hide
# - Minimize
# - Quit
# - ToggleFullscreen
# - SpawnNewInstance
# - ClearLogNotice
# - ReceiveChar
# - None
#
# (macOS only):
# - ToggleSimpleFullscreen: Enters fullscreen without occupying another space
#
# - `command`: Fork and execute a specified command plus arguments
#
# The `command` field must be a map containing a `program` string and an
# `args` array of command line parameter strings. For example:
# `{ program: "alacritty", args: ["-e", "vttest"] }`
#
# And optionally:
#
# - `mods`: Key modifiers to filter binding actions
#
# - Command
# - Control
# - Option
# - Super
# - Shift
# - Alt
#
# Multiple `mods` can be combined using `|` like this:
# `mods: Control|Shift`.
# Whitespace and capitalization are relevant and must match the example.
#
# - `mode`: Indicate a binding for only specific terminal reported modes
#
# This is mainly used to send applications the correct escape sequences
# when in different modes.
#
# - AppCursor
# - AppKeypad
# - Alt
#
# A `~` operator can be used before a mode to apply the binding whenever
# the mode is *not* active, e.g. `~Alt`.
#
# Bindings are always filled by default, but will be replaced when a new
# binding with the same triggers is defined. To unset a default binding, it can
# be mapped to the `ReceiveChar` action. Alternatively, you can use `None` for
# a no-op if you do not wish to receive input characters for that binding.
#
# If the same trigger is assigned to multiple actions, all of them are executed
# at once.
#key_bindings:
# (Windows, Linux, and BSD only)
