Ghostty (and libghostty) now fully implement the Kitty clipboard... protocol to allow apps to read/write non-textual data (like images!). Ghostty is the first to implement the full protocol outside Kitty. The biggest program to support this is probably Claude Code. Demo below. This will be part of Ghostty 1.4, available in nightly now. Available in libghostty now.show more

Ghostty on macOS now also has native GUI for... showing progress bars reported by OSC 9;4. This is, as far as I know, the first macOS terminal to support this (will be part of Ghostty 1.2, coming soon. Available now in tip releases). Esc sequence and script in quoted post.show more

Ghostty on macOS now copies multiple formats into the... clipboard. If you paste into rich text apps now, it'll preserve formatting! If you paste plain text, that'll work too. I think Ghostty may be the only macOS terminal other than the built-in to do this. Coming soon to GTK.show more

Cursor position and color uniforms are now available to... custom shaders in Ghostty, enabling cursor animations (and other effects). Video below is a rough demo of something simple. Can't wait to see what the custom shader community does with this. :) Docs:show more

Ghostty now has scrollbars for macOS drawn using native... macOS GUI widgets of course! Available now in tip releases. GTK will follow very shortly. 50% of Ghostty memes now dead.show more

Ghostty Devlog 006, speed edition 🚀. An intro to... SIMD, clever unicode lookup algorithms, and CSI parsing fast-paths all in order to make Ghostty wicked fast. The video below compares the plain-text throughput of Ghostty to another popular macOS terminal. Note that this video only showcases one particular type of speed. There are many other ways to measure the speed of a terminal and I note that in the devlog. The video is a very real world scenario though (i.e. tailing loud log output). 👻show more

Claude Mobile starts the idea... Ghostty finishes it I... basically use Claude Mobile as a notepad now. Whenever something comes to mind, I open the app, pick a repo, and ask Claude to start exploring. Then I just let it run while I go on with my day. Later I jump into Claude Desktop and I’m right back in the same session, with context, structure, and a clearer shape of the idea. I tweak a few things to set up the coding phase. Finally, one click to Ghostty (video), open a couple of worktrees, and start working on the PR. IMPORTANT: when you move to Ghostty, it must be the exact same repo you started on mobile, otherwise the --teleport command will failshow more

Ghostty now has a keybinding system powerful enough to... enable a "vim mode." This is built by composing multiple Ghostty features together, meaning you can create any modes you want (emacs, tmux, whatever). We'll keep adding more bindings to make these even more powerful! The config:show more

Thanks to an amazing contributor, Ghostty now supports a... beautiful titlebar with tabs in the titlebar. These are still fully native tabs, we surgically modify macOS's view hierarchy to make them look like this, so they retain all the macOS native behaviors you'd expect.show more

Ghostty lets you control the opacity of unfocused splits....
