Funny, I was just configuring ghostty. I finally made the jump in order to get rid of tmux as a layer of indirection.

Here's what I landed on: This config tries to emulate as much of tmux with native ghostty features (splits and tabs).

While I quite liked Ghostty to being with, the lack of a scripting API quickly drove me to WezTerm before long. See: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/2353

I hope they prioritize scriptability soon. It's quite important to my personal git worktree ergonomics.

I've been following this before it was made public and I'm a big Zig fan so I would definitely switch to this, but I've tried and failed many times. Currently it just keeps crashing multiple times (on three different machines) each day on my mac and the quick terminal doesn't support full screen mode (it still shows the menu bar). I could live with the menu bar showing, but because of the constant crashing I'll wait for a bit and check back in a few months.

How's the latency? I've had to keep using xterm even though it kind of sucks just because it's got the lowest latency by quite a bit.

  repaint_delay 5
  input_delay 1
  sync_to_monitor no

I have a terminal manager project[0] I'm currently using xterm for, but very curious to try libghostty. Have mainly been hesitant because it hasn't been promoted from an internal ghostty dependency (only awareness of the place was from this article by the creator[1]), but from the sounds of it here people are finding it stable enough. Gonna give it a whirl today.

Feature request: renaming tabs! Helps keep tabs organized instead of 20 tabs with similar names. (See Zed for example)

Also! I'm considering Ghostty web (https://github.com/coder/ghostty-web) for my project Ink Web. It's awesome that Ghostty can work in the browser to replace xterm.js.

Loving how well Ghostty works and looks. When running several Projects I need quite a few tabs as all these AI agents take sometime to complete. Overhead tabs get real messy very quickly. Multiple windows become a nightmare quickly. Side bar tabs have been my solution.

I love iTerms sidebar tabs - I add emojis to mine for my key projects and any subtask just lives under the master tab like a folder.

Would love to see sidebar tabs - or it sounds like I can code my own.

Ghostty is awesome, ill echo the sentiment regarding lack of IPC/scripting API being my current hold back. Sticking with kitty til then. I still keep the ghostty binary on hand so I can +boo :^)

for libghostty consumers, favorite i've tried so far is neurosnap/zmx.

We often see Ghostty on the front page. What makes this project special? Is it solving a big problem with current terminal apps?

Tried Ghostty several times and I really appreciate the font rendering, but I keep going back to iTerm2 and Terminal.app mostly because of lack of scroll back & CMD-F, etc. Looking forward to what is coming in the next release.
