i hope they implement something that can be used with tmux -CC mode.

Curious to hear some more recommendations, I settled on using lxterminal which works well enough. I couldn't get wezterm to recognize fonts on ALpine no matter what I did, kitty doesn't support tabs and ghosttty sounds like it has issues with ssh connections? I feel like I tried most at some point but if anyone has suggestions for a tabbed terminal emulator nicer than lxterminal, ideally with transparency, I'd love to hear them.

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

Ghostty's terminfo entry doesn't enable 24-bit color*, and as far as I can tell they don't provide a "ghostty-direct" entry that does. It just seemed odd that it's completely supported and working, yet not easily enabled. Maybe I just missed a trick, and didn't need to make a custom terminfo entry myself?

* "msgcat --color=test" is an easy test that shows the blending of 24-bit color, or blocky gradients otherwise.

Why use this over iterm 2?

Really nice terminal.

Unfortunately scrolling in terminal apps via mouse wheel seems to be broken (on release and main branch), which is currently a blocker for me. Hope this will be fixed soon.

I expected this to point to the 1.3.0 release since it’s expected in March. Hopefully we get that soon.

If there wasn't kitty I'd definitely be using Ghostty, but I have no reason to switch.

Can't use it yet because I need cmd-f find.

I tried this out after getting annoyed for the 100th time by a recent bug in kgx/console that will occasionally fail to launch windows leaving incomplete windows as tabs.

Console has long since become abandonware pushing people towards ptyxis which is now the default gnome terminal. A damn shame considering console is basically complete software (the quality of software in gnome is on a downhill).

I would have given ptyxis a chance if they didn't take a basic terminal and added some fluff (features related to distrobox) on top of other annoying things I can't be bothered to remember about because I ended up removing the software every time I gave it a spin.

In just a few days I've been able to replace console with ghostty-nightly and I don't miss anything.
