- Create a new window using the already running Alacritty process:
`alacritty msg create-window`
- Start the shell in a specific directory (also works with `alacritty msg create-window`):
`alacritty --working-directory {{path/to/directory}}`
- [e]xecute a command in a new Alacritty window (also works with `alacritty msg create-window`):
`alacritty -e {{command}}`
- Use an alternative configuration file (defaults to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty/alacritty.toml`):
`alacritty --config-file {{path/to/config.toml}}`
- Run with live configuration reload enabled (can also be enabled by default in `alacritty.toml`):
`alacritty --live-config-reload --config-file {{path/to/config.toml}}`
