I was sleepy and didn't realize in my original comment that Ghostty and Ghost are different.
I've been a laggard in switching to Ghostty because I used WezTerm and wrote a plugin to customize it to my liking. I switched to Ghostty just because I got tired of nothing happening in the WezTerm land and wanted to try something different.
Rex will allow me to use my old workflow again.
How’re you feeling after the change?
Got the Rex beta but haven’t looked at it really. I made a custom Claude code harness that is orchestrated by go CLI Claude wrote for me and that uses herdr for session management. Probably there’ll be something interesting I can do with Rex in the future as an alternative
That says a lot because I really liked WezTerm (I was sponsoring Wez on github because of it) and I still do. But, the development stopped to a crawl, Wez has other priorities (obviously) and it was time for me to find an alternative.
Ghostty is fine, but I want a scripting language for my terminal - I don't need much, but those few little things mean a lot to me. Based on the Rex docs, I will be able to make it work for me the way I used WezTerm before the switch.
I made a Claude code skill telling it to put a little image in the corner of the console when it does a render to see how something looks. It was quite fun telling it to draw a chicken with 5 SVG D paths and watching it iterate in the terminal.
Fast and clean. I find myself using Linux when I want to focus and study.
Windows is for music creation and certain games.
Why is that? It reminds me of the XFree86 times when building from source was some unstable, fancy thing that was severely frowned upon.
Does it mean that it's only viable to use the zig programming language if you can have "their team" on speed dial?
..but you can!
Nothing controversial here.
* vim like keybindings to select text
* URL, path, hash (or whatever else you need) selection with shortcut
The same or similar can be done with ghostty + tmux, but I prefer to use less if I can.

Not really and that isn't a good thing in the long run.
There should not be any more complexity in a terminal emulator that will just lead attackers to craft RCEs exploits to your terminal to steal your secrets on your computer just because "Its cool" and has hundreds of escape codes.

I like foot but don't mind waiting a few tens of ms in exchange for kitty's graphics.
