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 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

Getting closer now. Navigable search results are now in.... The last hard problem is done. I'm now starting the macOS GUI for all of this (GTK will follow).show more

Command palette coming to Ghostty, implemented with native UI... of course. macOS initially but GTK will follow and be part of the same tagged release, since there's already a mostly complete open PR. Almost all keybinding actions available, will be able to customize entries too.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

Ghostty on Linux now has native GUI for showing... progress bars (as reported by ConEmu's OSC 9;4 code). The style can be customized through GTK CSS (e.g. colors, size, and more). The terminal escape code: Ignore my missing "new tab" icon lol.show more

Thanks to a contributor, Ghostty now has a TUI... for seeing all built-in themes plus a live preview of what they look like. Ghostty has over 300 built-in themes!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

The macOS unobtrusive update feature is now shipped to... tip releases (aka. OpenAI Demogate). Demo shows a real update! Beyond visuals, also mproved functionality, e.g. tip updates will now link to a GH compare view between your commit and the latest in lieu of release notes.show more

Big day for desktops. Advanced Voice is now available... in the macOS and Windows desktop apps.show more

Ghostty on Linux getting a bunch of improvements. We... now use Adwaita widgets (if available). Demo of Adwaita tabs, tab overview, header, and about dialog below. Mostly the work of awesome contributors. Note: ignore the missing icon, that's something borked about my NixOS configshow 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

Even with close confirmation I sometimes close my terminal... and think "OH FUCK NO." Coming soon to Ghostty, you can undo that. 🥰 (Technical details: we keep the terminal running for a configurable time in the background before terminating for real, similar to email undo send). (macOS only for now, AppKit APIs provide a nice undo manager implementation that eases this quite a bit. I still have to do research on GTK for Linux.)show more

mattn Thanks, I've implemented essentially this using our internal... TUI framework. Just shipped a new release. `amp update` will get it. Let me know if this works for you. (I used the Pinyin IME I'm familiar with on macOS in Ghostty, but I hope the technique will work in general.)show more

Input binding is now available for Widgets! 🙌

When Ghostty detects a password input prompt, it now... changes the cursor to a lock and on macOS enables the secure input API. When the secure input API is enabled, we show a neat, animated icon that explains what's going on when clicked. Another example of native UI wins (imo). Secure Input is the macOS system API that prevents accessibility APIs from reading your keystrokes, so things like screen recording software and so on can't read your passwords. Other terminals on macOS support secure input. I think only iTerm also supports secure input on password detection. So as a disclaimer, I'm not trying to claim this as a huge innovation, I just think our implementation is nice. 😊show more

This bugs me more than it should. This is... Ghostty, but it happens to other software. Characters on the corners are cropped by the border radius of the window. I like macOS in general, but wish Apple would roll back the rounded corners a tad.show 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

Unsloth Studio now installs in just one line of... code! 💚 Available on macOS, Windows and Linux. You can also run @NVIDIA's new model Nemotron 3 4B locally on just 4GB RAM.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
